L.‐P. Zhu, X.‐S. Chen, J.‐Q. Wu, F.‐F. Yang, X.‐H. Weng. Aspergillus vertebral osteomyelitis and ureteral obstruction after liver transplantation.
Transpl Infect Dis 2011: 13 : 192–199. All rights reserved Abstract:Aspergillus osteomyelitis has been reported as a result of dissemination in solid organ transplant recipients. Vertebral osteomyelitis is one of the most common forms of Aspergillus osteomyelitis. An Aspergillus fungal ball is a rare cause of ureteral obstruction. We describe an unusual case of simultaneous vertebral osteomyelitis and ureteral obstruction caused by A. flavus in a hepatic transplant recipient, who was successfully treated with sequential intravenous and oral itraconazole solution.
