Treatment of thoracic spine spondylodiscitis in a patient who underwent COVID-19 (clinical case)

Purpose: to demonstrate successful experience in the treatment of spondylodiscitis caused by Burkholderia cenocepacia in a patient who underwent COVID-19, to show minimalism of surgical trauma and low risk of postoperative complications. When analyzing the modern literature, there was not a single described case of spinal column spondylodiscitis, the causative agent of which was Burkholderia cenocepacia. Surgical treatment in the volume of percutaneous biopsy of Th5-Th6 vertebrae with microflora in combination with competently selected antibacterial therapy allowed to achieve early activation of the patient, reduce the time of medical and social rehabilitation, prevent the development of gross compression of neural structures.
