Abstract

Brain abscesses caused by group A Streptococcus (GAS) are infrequently encountered in children. We present two cases of brain abscess (one cerebellar and one located in the temporal lobe) due to GAS infection occurring in close temporal proximity in previously healthy young children living in different geographic areas of southern Israel. The relevant literature since 2000, in the context of recent epidemiological data reporting an increase in the incidence of invasive GAS infections, is reviewed.

摘要

由 A 组链球菌（GAS）引起的脑脓肿在儿童中很少见。我们报告了两例脑脓肿（一例位于小脑，一例位于颞叶），均由 GAS 感染引起，发生在以色列南部不同地理位置的两名先前健康的年幼儿童身上，且时间非常接近。鉴于最近报告的侵袭性 GAS 感染发病率增加的流行病学数据，我们回顾了自 2000 年以来的相关文献。
