Abstract
An acute spinal epidural abscess [in a man] is reported from which a pure growth of the anaerobe Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated. The mode of infection and pathogen makes it unique. The literature concerning the bacteriology of epidural abscess and the implications of anaerobic epidural infection are discussed.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
