A case of Lumbar Spondylodiscitis and Psoas Abscess caused by Candida albicans

Bone and joint infections due to candidiasis are rare. The simultaneous occurrence of lumbar spondylodiscitis and psoas abscess is rare. Furthermore, although Candida albicans remains the most common causative agent, recent reports have indicated a rise in non-albicans Candida species. In this report, we have presented a case of lumbar spondylodiscitis and psoas abscess that was associated with C. albicans-induced candidemia.

Abstract

Bone and joint infections due to candidiasis are rare. The simultaneous occurrence of lumbar spondylodiscitis and psoas abscess is rare. Furthermore, although Candida albicans remains the most common causative agent, recent reports have indicated a rise in non-albicans Candida species. In this report, we have presented a case of lumbar spondylodiscitis and psoas abscess that was associated with C. albicans-induced candidemia.
