Spondylodiscitis caused byFusobacteriumspecies is rare. Most cases of spontaneous spondylodiscitis are caused byStaphylococcus aureusand most postoperative cases are caused byStaphylococcus aureusor coagulase-negative staphylococci.Escherichia coliis the most common Gram-negative organism causing spondylodiscitis.Fusobacteriumspecies are unusual causes for anaerobic spondylodiscitis. We report the case of a patient with spontaneous L2-L3 spondylodiscitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, and epidural abscess caused byFusobacteriumspecies and review the literature for patients withFusobacteriumspondylodiscitis.

AbstractBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease widely seen in endemic regions and that can lead to systemic involvement. The musculoskeletal system is frequently affected, and the disease can exhibit clinical involvements such as arthritis, spondylitis, spondylodiscitis, osteomyelitis, tenosynovitis and bursitis. Spondylitis and spondylodiscitis, common complications of brucellosis, predominantly affect the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae.Epidural abscess may occur as a rare complication of spondylitis. Spinal brucellosis and development of epidural abscess in the cervical region are rare. Development of epidural abscess affects the duration and success of treatment. Spinal brucellosis should be considered in patients presenting with fever and lower back-neck pain in endemic regions, and treatment must be initiated with early diagnosis in order to prevent potential complications.
