Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection that affects chiefly the cervico-oro-facial area, the abdomen and lungs. From these sites it may sometimes spread to the central nervous system. Extremely rare, and controversial, is the possibility of a primary infection of the central nervous system. We report an odd case of apparently primary brain abscess caused by Actinomyces israeli and review the literature.
放线菌病是一种主要影响颈面口部、腹部和肺部的细菌感染。它有时可能从这些部位扩散到中枢神经系统。中枢神经系统原发性感染的可能性极为罕见且存在争议。我们报告一例由以色列放线菌引起的明显原发性脑脓肿的奇特病例并对文献进行综述。
