COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS OF THE SPINE - UNUSUAL ROENTGENOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH HALPERN, A. A., Rinsky, L. A., Fountain, S., Nagel, D. A. 1979: 78-79

Abstract

Vertebral osteomyelitis is a frequent consequence of disseminated coccidioidomycosis. In a 25-year-old man, the sequela was a single level unilateral osseous bridge between the second and third lumbar vertebra. A review of previous cases has disclosed one case with a similar roentgenographic picture. The occurrence of a single level unilateral reactive process should arouse suspicion of a localized chronic bone infection.
