초록
We report herein a case of meningitis due to Streptococcus viridans that occurred after epidural nerve block. The low virulence of S. viridans resulted in milder clinical symptoms and signs than are usually observed for bacterial meningitis, thus mimicking viral meningitis. The infection may have originated from the oral cavity of the medical personnel, and so S. viridans infection should be included in the differential diagnosis of meningitis subsequent to spinal manipulation.
