Abstract EN

Burkholderia cepacia spondylodiscitis is a rare entity that has been reported in only four cases.

We hereby report the case of a 43-year-old, previously healthy, woman who was found to have a B.

cepacia spondylodiscitis after a cholecystectomy.

She was treated with a three-month regimen of ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin with complete clinical, biological, and radiological remission.
