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.[SDGs]SDG3amphotericin B; cotrimoxazole; histidine; itraconazole; nitroblue tetrazolium; recombinant gamma interferon; voriconazole; acute kidney failure; adolescent; article; aspergillosis; Aspergillus flavus; Aspergillus flavus infection; bone biopsy; case report; chronic granulomatous disease; computer assisted tomography; epidural abscess; exon; fungal sinusitis; fungus culture; gene deletion; genetic analysis; Giemsa stain; hemolytic uremic syndrome; human; human tissue; hyperesthesia; intervertebral disk degeneration; knee pain; low back pain; male; muscle weakness; neurologic examination; nitroblue tetrazolium test; nonhuman; nuclear magnetic resonance imaging; paranasal sinusitis; patient compliance; peritoneal dialysis; phaeohyphomycosis; priority journal; superior cava vein syndrome; Adolescent; Antifungal Agents; Aspergillosis; Aspergillus flavus; Discitis; Epidural Abscess; Granulomatous Disease, Chronic; Humans; Interferon-gamma; Lumbar Vertebrae; Male; Treatment Outcomejournal article10.1097/INF.0b013e3182309ec0218739292-s2.0-84855438605
