Spondylodiscitis is an infection of the vertebral column, the incidence of which is increasing due to an increase in the susceptible population and improved ascertainment. This disease has been associated with a wide range of microorganisms. Fungal spondylodiscitis is uncommon (0.5-1.6%) and strongly associated with immunosuppression and diabetes (Gouliouris et al., 2010). A rare case of Candida glabrata spondylodiscitis in a non-neutropenic diabetic patient is reported herein, along with a review of the literature.
