Candida osteomyelitis and disc space infection of the lumbar spine

P L Munk et al. Skeletal Radiol. 1997 Jan.

Abstract

Candida osteomyelitis is an uncommon complication of immunosuppressive therapy. Its radiographic manifestations are similar to those of other relatively indolent infectious agents. We report the CT and MR findings in a patient who developed this condition following treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia, and review the imaging literature covering similar cases.
