description | Pyogenic spondylodiscitis is rarely caused by Burkholderia cepacia complex. B. cepacia is widespread in the environment and recognized as an opportunistic pathogen for patients with cystic fibrosis and immune disorders. A female in her mid-30s with underlying hyperthyroidism, but otherwise immunocompetent, was admitted to the hospital with persistent lower back pain after elective bariatric surgery in Mexico. Lumbar MRI showed L2/L3 osteomyelitis and discitis. Culture of disk aspiration grew Burkholderia cepacia complex sensitive to cefepime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem, levofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The infection failed to respond to cefepime; however, she was successfully treated with levofloxacin monotherapy. |
