Abstract

We report the case of a 24-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis in whom spondylodiscitis developed after bilateral sequential transplantation. The diagnostic work-up included magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography-guided disk biopsy, histological examination, and cultures of disk specimens. The infective organism was D group Streptococcus and the patient was successfully treated with intravenous piperacillin followed by oral ampicillin. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spondylodiscitis after lung transplantation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
