ABSTRACT
A 66-year-old female who had undergone surgery for a herniated disc at the L5-S1 level at another hospital 3 months earlier was admitted with persistent back and leg pain. She was diagnosed with spondylodiscitis at the L5-S1 level by magnetic resonance imaging. A biopsy was performed, and Candida parapsilosis and Enterococcus faecium were isolated from the excised material. We report herein a case of successful treatment of polymicrobial spondylodiscitis in accordance with accurate microbiological diagnosis. Based on this case, we hope to encourage physicians to perform biopsies more aggressively or repeatedly to improve the diagnostic yield.
