RESUMO
Bacterial myonecrosis is a medical and surgical emergency and prompt surgical intervention is critically important. A variety of microorganisms have been isolated from patients with necrotizing soft-tissue infections. These infections are frequently polymicrobial in etiology, but occasionally a single microorganism is isolated. This report describes a case of crepitant myonecrosis from infection with Salmonella serogroup B.

Acute spinal epidural abscess is an uncommon disease. Recommended management has been mainly surgical. We recently treated three cases within 4 weeks. Lowered immune resistance played a role in two of the cases. We suggest that acquired immunodeficiency syndrome will increase the incidence of this uncommon entity and advise that acute spinal epidural abscess can be successfully treated by nonsurgical means in some cases.
