Abstract

We treated a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome for a brain abscess caused by Rhodococcus equi, an actinomycete that usually infects the lung in immunosuppressed hosts. Rhodococcus equi brain abscess is an extremely rare lesion that has never been reported in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The infection was cured by lengthy therapy with multiple antibiotics after aspiration of the lesion to identify the infective organism and determine its sensitivity to antibiotics.

摘要

我们治疗了一名患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征的患者，其患有由马红球菌引起的脑脓肿，马红球菌是一种放线菌，通常在免疫抑制宿主中感染肺部。马红球菌脑脓肿是一种极其罕见的病变，从未在获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者中报道过。在对病变进行穿刺以确定感染性生物体并确定其对抗生素的敏感性后，通过长期使用多种抗生素治疗，感染得以治愈。
