is part of the normal human oropharyngeal microflora and is frequently associated with dental caries and periodontal disease. Invasive disease has been described essentially in immunocompromised hosts and/or patients with underlying conditions as predisposing factors. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 46-years old male with spondylodiscitis caused by this pathogen. Treatment with ceftriaxone and rifampin was successful. To our knowledge, this is the first spondylodiscitis reported in an immunocompetent patient, and the second one in the literature overall.
是正常人类口咽微生物群的一部分,常与龋齿和牙周病相关。侵袭性疾病主要在免疫功能低下的宿主和/或有潜在疾病作为易感因素的患者中被描述。我们报告一例由该病原体引起的脊椎椎间盘炎的46岁健康男性病例。头孢曲松和利福平治疗成功。据我们所知,这是首次报道免疫功能正常患者发生脊椎椎间盘炎,也是文献中总体报道的第二例。
