| Core Tip |
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare condition that mostly results from infection with either bacteria or tuberculosis (TB). However, coinfection with bacteria and TB, as in our case, is extremely rare. Because the blood culture and the surgical specimen results supported bacterial infection, we initially neglected the possibility of TB. Only after SEA recurrence did we suspect coinfection with other organisms. Now, we believe that the identification of a certain pathogen in SEAs does not exclude coinfection with other pathogens. Tubercular coinfection should be suspected if an SEA does not improve despite appropriate antibiotics for the identified pathogen. |
