    Resumen

    Surgical treatment of vertebral coccidioidomycosis presents a challenge, with an unpredictable course and uncertain results. We present a 52-year-old man with disseminated infection due to coccidioidomycosis in the thoracolumbar spine, with vertebral instability, and deferral surgical treatment due to SARS-CoV-2 contingency.
    Treatment with itraconazole was initiated, followed by liposomal amphotericin B and fluconazole due to a relapse. The patient was discharged long-term with voriconazole. The axial pain improved without neurological deficits. Surgical treatment was not required.
