Abstract

Aerococcus urinae is an uncommon urinary tract pathogen which causes infections predominantly in elderly persons with local and general predisposing conditions. There are few case reports of severe infections caused by Aerococcus urinae among which only 14 cases of endocarditis caused by Aerococcus urinae have been reported. We report the first case of Aerococcus urinae spondylodiscitis. The patient responded to 4 weeks of amoxicillin and clindamycin, and to 5 months of amoxicillin alone.

摘要

尿液气球菌是一种不常见的泌尿道病原体，主要在有局部和全身易感因素的老年人中引起感染。尿液气球菌引起严重感染的病例报告很少，其中仅报告了14例由尿液气球菌引起的心内膜炎。我们报告了首例尿液气球菌性脊椎间盘炎病例。该患者对阿莫西林和克林霉素治疗4周以及仅用阿莫西林治疗5个月均有反应。
