摘要

In this article, a case of cervical spondylitis caused by Kocuria varians is reported, which has not been previously documented in clinical literature regarding cervical infections attributed to this bacterium. A review of the patient’s medical history revealed prior acupuncture treatment in the cervical and shoulder regions before symptom onset. Despite this, there is no conclusive evidence linking the acupuncture to the infection. The patient ultimately required surgical intervention due to exacerbation of the condition and the manifestation of spinal cord injury symptoms.
