Paraplegia due to aspergillosis. Successful conservative treatment of two cases.

B Ferris, C Jones.   

Abstract

Aspergillus infection of the spine is rare; for it to lead to paraplegia is still more rare. When this does occur it is usually treated by decompression and antifungal agents, but the results have usually been poor. We report two cases of successful conservative treatment of Aspergillus paraplegia in patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
