Although cerebral abscesses caused by animal bites have been reported, they are extremely rare in infants and have not been described following monkey bite. A 55-day-old male infant presented with a multi-loculated Streptococcus oralis cerebral abscess following a monkey bite on the scalp. There was a clinical response to antibiotic therapy and repeated surgical aspiration followed by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. This is the first report of a patient with a brain abscess following a monkey bite.
虽然已有动物咬伤导致脑脓肿的报道,但在婴儿中极为罕见,且猴咬伤后导致脑脓肿的情况尚无描述。一名55日龄男婴因头皮被猴咬伤后出现多房性口腔链球菌脑脓肿。抗生素治疗及反复手术抽吸引流并随后行脑室腹腔分流术后有临床反应。这是首例关于猴咬伤后发生脑脓肿患者的报告。
