[Bacterial spondylitis caused by Haemophilus aphrophilus].
Four weeks after a slight scratch a 43-year-old man noted a severe back pain. Physical examination gave suspicion of a bacterial spondylitis. From the biopsy of the involved vertebral body Haemophilus aphrophilus was isolated under aerobic growth conditions.
