[Aspergillus spondylodiscitis].
Four weeks after an Amanita phalloides poisoning, a 29-year-old man presented an ocular aspergillosis. One month later he developed a bilateral L5-S1 radicular syndrome. The diagnosis of aspergillar spondylodiscities was established on the basis of x-ray, CT-scan, MRI and pathology findings. Clinical and radiological improvement was obtained with fluconazole.
