Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rapidly growing mycobacteria that causes skin and soft tissue infection, pulmonary infection, and occasionally disseminated disease in severely immunocompromised patients. While three cases of spondylitis caused by M. fortuitum have been reported, no case has been reported in Korea. We describe the first reported case of M. fortuitum spondylitis and an epidural abscess after lumbar acupuncture, and a surgical procedure to treat spinal stenosis.
