摘要

Invasive fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, represent an increasing cause of hospital-related morbidity and mortality. Most commonly Candida spp. is the causative agent of candidemia and invasive candidiasis. In this report we present a complex case of Candida albicans spondylodiscitis, successfully treated with rezafungin, a new echinocandin suitable for weekly outpatient administration. This case illustrates the first documented use of rezafungin in an outpatient setting for C. albicans spondylodiscitis, demonstrating its potential in managing complex fungal infections.
