[Aspergillus spondylodiscitis. Apropos of 3 cases].
Three cases of Aspergillus discitis are reported in immunodepressed patients. Vertebrae osteomyelitis was preceded in 2 cases by pulmonary infection. The diagnosis was established in every case by disc aspiration or closed-needle-biopsy and mycological examination of the material. Aspergillus fumigatus was identified in two cases; in one case itroconazole led to recovery within three months.
