We describe a case of candida spondylodiscitis secondary to coronavirus disease (COVID-19). A 47-year-old man diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) required prolonged admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Four months later, he was diagnosed with thoracic candida spondylodiscitis. Medical management was insufficient, so he eventually underwent surgery. Fungal infections seem to be more likely in patients with COVID-19, but it is unknown whether they are directly attributed to COVID-19 or other surrounding factors. Regardless of the answer, the diagnosis is complicated, and the mortality rate is high. COVID-19 is posing a challenge to the society, and new and unexpected diseases that had once disappeared have risen again. It is our duty to suspect them and to treat them in the most effective way possible.
我们描述了一例继发于冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的念珠菌性脊椎椎间盘炎病例。一名47岁的男性被诊断出感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2），需要在重症监护病房（ICU）长期住院。四个月后，他被诊断出患有胸椎念珠菌性脊椎椎间盘炎。药物治疗效果不佳，因此他最终接受了手术。COVID-19患者似乎更容易发生真菌感染，但尚不清楚这是否直接归因于COVID-19或其他周围因素。无论答案如何，诊断都很复杂，死亡率很高。COVID-19正在给社会带来挑战，一些曾经消失的新的和意想不到的疾病又再次出现。怀疑并尽可能以最有效的方式治疗这些疾病是我们的责任。
