Abstract
Infectious spondylodiscitis (ISD) is a rare infection of the spine. ISD caused by Acinetobacter baumannii and Citrobacter koseri is even rarer. Moreover, the association between ISD and malignancy is uncommon. In these case series, we report the remarkable case of a patient diagnosed with ISD associated with bone metastatic lesions of an unknown cancer and multiple myeloma accidentally discovered due to COVID-19 infection. We also reported two cases of ISD caused by rare organisms: the first case is a man with ISD caused by a multidrug resistant A. baumannii, and the second is a man with C. koseri bacteraemia complicated by paraspinal abscess and ISD.
