Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Aerococccus urinae (AU) is a pathogen mainly identified in male urinary tract infections and responsible for bacteremia and endocarditis. To the best of our knowledge, there are only five patients with osteomyelitis due to AU described in the literature. All of them had urinary tract disease or systemic conditions such as diabetes, and two were associated with an endocarditis. CASE REPORT: We described the first case of isolated spondylodiscitis without general or local predisposing condition, excepted age > 65 years.Entities:
