Here is the next instalment of SCI Care: What Really Matters Series 2.
In this episode, Prof Ruth Marshall is joined by Dr Harvinder Chhabra, immediate past president of ISCoS and former host of this podcast to discuss infection-related myelopathy. Although it's a subject that has been around for a long time, there remains a lot of work to be done in terms of management, diagnosis, treatment and education around this major issue. A prevention and education strategy is needed for the many different groups that look after people with infections, including those of us working in spinal cord injury, where we look after people whose cord impairment is due to an infection.
Questions in this episode:
Why did it take so long for infection-related myelopathy to be recognised as a major cause of spinal cord impairment?
What can be done to recognise infection earlier?
What do we need to do to get our medical and surgical colleagues to recognise infections earlier?
What prevention strategies can we put in place?
Thank you for listening.
