저자들은 이전에 국내에서 보고된 바 없었던 Parvimonas micra가 일으킨 화농성 척추염 환자 1예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
Parvimonas micra is frequently associated with periodontal disease as well as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and female genitourinary tract infections, but only rarely has it been reported as a pathogenic agent of infectious spondylodiscitis. We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman with spondylodiscitis caused by P. micra. P. micra was cultured from the patient’s blood and vertebral tissue. This case was treated with vertebral corpectomy followed by intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam for four weeks. Her symptoms and vital signs improved, and elevated inflammatory markers were normalized after treatment. (Korean J Med 2012; 82:632-636)
