Abstract

Parvimonas micra is frequently associated with periodontal disease as well as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and female genitourinary tract infections, but only rarely has it been reported as a pathogenic agent of infectious spondylodiscitis. We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman with spondylodiscitis caused by P. micra. P. micra was cultured from the patient's blood and vertebral tissue. This case was treated with vertebral corpectomy followed by intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam for four weeks. Her symptoms and vital signs improved, and elevated inflammatory markers were normalized after treatment.

저자들은 이전에 국내에서 보고된 바 없었던 Parvimonas micra가 일으킨 화농성 척추염 환자 1예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
