Abstract
A report of a case of haematogenous infection of a lumbar zygapophysial joint. In spite of radiographic and bone scan findings that localised the lesion, the diagnosis was not made until an operative exploration was made, which also effected a cure. This is an unusual site for sepsis and the clinical picture can easily lead to confusion with spondylosis which is much more common.
