Abstract:

With the increasing number of immunocompromised patients, the incidence of fungal vetebral osteomyelitis was higher. The epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this disease received growing attention. Fungal osteomyelitis was a rare disease, with high rates of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis and delayed diagnosis, which is closely related to the risk of death. However, the specificity of culture currently is very difficult to identify fungal species. Non-operative measures remain the primary curative modality, which is still controversial because of drug resistance and high frequency of recurrence. The research progress of spinal fungal infection was reviewed and some references for clinical diagnosis and treatment were provided in this article.
