<i>Aspergillus</i> Spondylodiscitis in an Immunocompetent Patient With Recurrent <i>Aspergillus</i> Endocarditis; A Clinical Case Report
Early recognition in patients with underlying immunosuppressive conditions and immunocompetent hosts is critical to decreasing the mortality rate. Aspergillosis must be considered in every patient with a prior valve replacement history and culture-negative endocarditis. Surgical debridement and appropriate antifungal agents are required to resolve the problem.
