Introduction
Veillonella is an anaerobic gram-negative coccus that inhabits the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract.1-3 Thirteen species of the genus have been identified, of which six species have been isolated from the human oral cavity.4 Veillonella species were formerly considered to be non-pathogenic and to rarely cause serious infections, but in recent years, there has been an increasing number of reports of human infections among immunocompromised individuals.5Here, we report a rare case of an epidural abscess and spondylitis caused by Veillonella parvula .
