Group milleri streptococci that colonize the mouth and the upper airways are generally considered to be commensal. In combination with anaerobics, they are rarely responsible for brain abscesses in patients with certain predisposing factors. Mortality in such cases is high and complications are frequent. We present a case of fatal subdural empyema caused by Streptococcus constellatus and Actinomyces viscosus in a previously healthy 7-year-old girl.
定植于口腔和上呼吸道的米勒链球菌通常被认为是共生菌。在某些易感因素的患者中，它们与厌氧菌一起很少引起脑脓肿。在这种情况下，死亡率很高，并发症频繁。我们报告了一例先前健康的 7 岁女孩由星座链球菌和粘性放线菌引起的致命性硬脑膜下积脓。
