We describe what appears to be the first case of spondylodiscitis due to Candida dubliniensis. Our case adds to the current literature of the importance of C. dubliniensis as a cause of fungemia and subsequent deep seated infections. It highlights the importance of taking fungal as well as bacterial culture from biopsy specimens in patients with spondylodiscitis. We also review the literature covering the reported cases of Candida spondylodiscitis, which amount to about 100 over the last 5 decades.
我们描述了一例疑似由都柏林念珠菌引起的脊椎椎间盘炎病例,这似乎是首例此类病例。我们的病例进一步充实了当前关于都柏林念珠菌作为真菌血症及后续深部感染病因的重要性的文献。该病例突出了在脊椎椎间盘炎患者的活检标本中同时进行真菌和细菌培养的重要性。我们还回顾了过去五十年来报道的约100例念珠菌性脊椎椎间盘炎病例的相关文献。
