Aspergilni spondilodiscitis pri bolnici z jetrno cirozo in sladkorno boleznijo

Aspergillus osteomyelitis is a rare manifestation of invasive aspergillosis which accounts for 1.8% to 5.6% of all invasive aspergillosis forms. As other forms of invasive aspergillosis, it predominantly occurs in immunosupressed patients with well established risk factors, but there are increasing reports of invasive aspergillosis cases in patients without traditional risk factors such as patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on inhalatory corticosteroid therapy or patients with liver cirrhosis. We present a case of Aspergillus spondylodiscitis in a patient without other risk factors for invasive aspergillosis than liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus successfully treated with a 4-month course of voriconasole.
