Abstract
A 58-year-old patient with neutropenia due to SLE developed spondylitis of the lumbar region caused by Candida albicans. The spondylitis was probably superinfected with Staphylococcus aureus. The initial one month's intravenous combination therapy with amphotericin B and flucytosine was discontinued because of fever reactions to amphotericin B, suspected myelosuppressive effect of flucytosine and insufficient clinical response. This therapy was followed by four months of oral ketoconazole and clindamycin with good results and without any side-effects.
