Abstract
A 46-year-old man presented with Aspergillus fumigatus spondylodiscitis after lumbar surgery. He was successfully treated with the new antifungal drug itraconazole in combination with surgical débridement of the disc space. The patient has remained on itraconazole for more than a year and tolerated the drug well.
