Fungal spondylodiscitis due to Candida albicans: an atypical case and review of the literature
چکیده انگلیسی

Spondylodiscitis due to Candida is a rare complication from hematogenic dissemination of infection caused by this fungus. We present an atypical case of spondylodiscitis caused by this germ that occurred after chest contusion and progressed with necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior region of the chest and osteomyelitis of the sternum. Through contiguity, it also affected the upper thoracic spine. The patient evolved with neurological alterations and recovered satisfactorily after appropriate treatment with surgical decompression of the spinal cord and specific antibiotic therapy.

ResumoA espondilodiscite por Candida albicans é uma rara complicação da disseminação hematogênica da infecção por esse fungo. Apresentamos um caso atípico de espondilodiscite por esse germe ocorrido após trauma contuso torácico que cursou com fasceíte necrotizante da região anterior do tórax, osteomielite de esterno e, por contiguidade, afetou a coluna vertebral torácica alta. O paciente evoluiu com alteração neurológica e recuperou-se satisfatoriamente após tratamento adequado com descompressão medular cirúrgica e antibioticoterapia específica.
