Abstract
Neisseria subflava is generally regarded as commensal flora of the oropharyngeal tract and usually non-pathogenic. There are, however, reports of invasive disease such as bacteremia, endocarditis, sepsis, meningitis, septic arthritis and discitis caused by this organism. This paper presents the first reported case of an epidural abscess caused by Neiserria subflava.
