    Abstract:
    Recently, candidiasis infection is on the increase and several factors have been associated, such us immunodepression, catheters, weakening diseases, prolonged antibiotherapy, HIV infection and IDU. Spondylodiskitis due to Candida sp. is a rare entity. Two cases of spondylodiskitis due to Candida albicans were diagnosed: a 29 year old man and a 35 year old woman. Both were IDUs with a previous history of HIV infection. The most prominent clinical features in both cases were pain, fever and constitutional syndrome. We describe the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of both cases.
