Enterococcus hirae infection is extremely rare in humans. In this paper, we describe a case of Enterococcus hirae spondylodiscitis complicated with anterior epidural abscess and multiple psoas abscesses in a 55-year-old man with diabetes mellitus. Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy, surgery was required. This is the first reported case of spondylodiscitis due to this microorganism. Only two other case reports of human infection by E. hirae are available in the medical literature worldwide.
平肠球菌感染在人类中极为罕见。在本文中，我们描述了一例55岁糖尿病男性患者发生平肠球菌性脊椎椎间盘炎并伴有前硬膜外脓肿和多发腰大肌脓肿的病例。尽管进行了适当的抗菌治疗，但仍需要手术。这是首例报道的由该微生物引起的脊椎椎间盘炎病例。在全球医学文献中，仅有另外两例关于人类感染平肠球菌的病例报告。
