Brain abscess, while rare, confers high mortality, especially in the developing world. The case of a Ugandan child with a polymicrobial brain abscess including infection with Tissierella praeacuta/Clostridium hastiforme requiring repeated drainage and eventual surgical excision is reported. The case demonstrates the importance of considering anaerobic organisms in the treatment of children with brain abscess from the developing world.
脑脓肿虽然罕见,但死亡率很高,尤其是在发展中国家。本文报告了一例乌干达儿童患有多种微生物脑脓肿的病例,包括感染 Tissierella praeacuta/Clostridium hastiforme,需要反复引流和最终手术切除。该病例表明,在治疗来自发展中国家的脑脓肿儿童时,考虑厌氧菌的重要性。
