Amanita phalloides poisoning preceded ocular aspergillosis and L5-S1 radicular syndrome in a patient. Fluconazole treatment led to clinical and radiological recovery from aspergillar spondylodiscitis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Amanita phalloides poisoning can lead to severe systemic complications.
  • Fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, can manifest in various organs following immunosuppression or trauma.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old male developed ocular aspergillosis four weeks post-Amanita phalloides poisoning.
  • Subsequently, he experienced a bilateral L5-S1 radicular syndrome.

Findings:

  • Imaging studies including X-ray, CT-scan, and MRI, along with pathological findings, confirmed aspergillar spondylodiscitis.
  • The patient showed clinical and radiological improvement after treatment with fluconazole.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare, sequential manifestation of fungal infections following amatoxin poisoning.

  • It underscores the importance of considering opportunistic fungal infections in patients with a history of severe poisoning.
  • Effective antifungal therapy, such as fluconazole, can successfully manage aspergillar spondylodiscitis.
