Pasteurella infections are common in domestic animals and very rare in human. We report a hematogenously acquired Pasteurella haemolytica brain abscess, mimicking brain tumor on magnetic resonance imaging, in an 18-year-old female patient known with cardiac interventricular communication, without recent history of animal contact. The outcome was good after abscess complete removal and antimicrobials therapy for 6 weeks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of P. haemolytica brain abscess.
巴氏杆菌感染在家畜中很常见,而在人类中极为罕见。我们报告了一例血源性获得性溶血巴氏杆菌脑脓肿病例,该病例在磁共振成像上酷似脑肿瘤,患者为一名18岁女性,患有心脏室间隔缺损,近期无动物接触史。在脓肿完全切除并进行6周抗菌治疗后,预后良好。据我们所知,这是首例报道的溶血巴氏杆菌脑脓肿病例。
