Gemella morbillorum, a commensal of the oropharynx, upper respiratory, urogenital and gastrointestinal tract is rarely associated with infections in humans. However, an increasing number of infectious processes in different locations have been reported. Cerebral abscesses caused by these bacteria are extremely uncommon with only four cases previously described in the literature. We present the case of a cerebellar abscess by Gemella morbillorum in a 50 year-old man with inter-atrial communication dealt by surgical excision and antimicrobial therapy.
麻疹孪生球菌是口咽、上呼吸道、泌尿生殖系统和胃肠道的共生菌，很少引起人类感染。然而，已有越来越多关于其在不同部位引发感染的报道。由这些细菌引起的脑脓肿极为罕见，此前文献中仅描述过4例。我们报告了一例50岁男性因麻疹孪生球菌引发小脑脓肿的病例，该患者存在心房间隔交通，通过手术切除和抗菌治疗进行处理。
