	'''Spondylodiscitis''' is a medical condition that involves the [[inflammation]] of the [[vertebral disc]] and adjacent [[vertebrae]]. It is often caused by an [[infection]], which can be either [[bacterial]] or [[fungal]] in nature. The condition is also known as [[discitis]], [[vertebral osteomyelitis]], or [[septic discitis]].
