Abstract
Only a few species of Aspergillus cause infections in humans. But, these infections lead highly mortal abscesses by located in the central nervous system and spine. It is accentuated frequently in the literature that these infections were seen in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this case report is that spinal involvement of Aspergillus should be kept in mind even in immunocompetent patients initially considered as tuberculosis by radiology. Mortality rate may be reduced by surgical decompression and rigorous antifungal therapy.
