PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 67-year-old builder presenting with fever, myalgia and back pain is found to have intervertebral discitis (confirmed on MRI) caused by\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">H. influenzae<\/jats:italic>\n                      (identified on blood cultures). DISCUSSION: A nontypeable form of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">H. influenzae<\/jats:italic>\n                      has not been reported causing discitis. We describe a case in a relatively fit individual who was treated successfully with antimicrobial treatment. A preceding upper respiratory tract infection is the presumed source of infection, predisposed by long-term low-dose steroid therapy.
