Abstract

V originále

We have read with great interest the manuscript by Chen et al., which provides an interesting and potentially important perspective into low virulence infections in cervical intervertebral discs. Given our experience in relation to the study of infection amongst patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy surgery, we would like to highlight what we consider to be some methodological and data analysis limitations within the study that could impact on the fnal results and conclusion.
