Two cases of epidural abscess in afebrile intravenous drug abusers are presented. Both patients presented for evaluation of back pain that developed only after having moved heavy household items. One patient admitted to not having used intravenous drugs in at least 2 years. These cases are presented to illustrate the atypical fashion in which epidural abscess may present.
本文报告了两例无发热症状的静脉注射吸毒者发生硬膜外脓肿的病例。两名患者均因搬运重物后才出现的背痛前来就诊。其中一名患者承认至少两年未使用过静脉注射毒品。报告这些病例是为了说明硬膜外脓肿可能出现的非典型表现形式。
