ABSTRACT
Spinal infection due to Serratia marcescens is very rare. A 78-year-old male patient withoutany risk factor was admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of severe back pain, fever, weakness in both legs, and bowel dysfunction, following caudal epidural injection. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed spondylodiscitis with epidural abscess. Surgical decompression was performed and the epidural abscess was removed. The cultures isolated S. marcescens, which can cause nosocomial infection in immunocompromised patient. However, to the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of S. marcescens spinal epidural abscess following epidural injection, with literature review.
