A Highly Rare Cause of Lumbar Spondylodiscitis with Epidural Abscess : Actinomyces israelii

الملخص EN

Actinomyces species may lead to slowly progressive infection of almost any site once mucosal breakdown exists; hence, it has the name “great pretender.” Its diagnosis may be unthinkable unless proper cultures/histologies are taken.

We describe a patient with lumbar spondylodiscitis and epidural abscess.

This is an exceptional another disease by actinomycosis.
