A member asked:
Can uti lead to abscess of the spinal cord?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The infection can spread, often through a cluster of veins called batson's plexus, upwards and cause infection of a veterbra or a disc and spread into the spinal canal causing an epidural spinal abscess.
