Issue Date: | 2012 | Journal Volume: | 31 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Start page/Pages: | 100-101 | Source: | Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal | Abstract: | Chronic granulomatous disease is a genetic disorder characterized by defects in the ability of the phagocytes to kill ingested microbes, leading to recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. Vertebral osteomyelitis complicated by an epidural abscess from aspergillosis is rare. We report a case of Aspergillus spondylodiscitis with an epidural abscess in a 17-year-old autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease patient. ? 2012 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. |
