Brain abscess is a life-threatening illness that occurs when an intracerebral infection leads to cerebritis and subsequent pus formation within a well-vascularized capsule. While streptococci (aerobic, anaerobic, and microaerophilic) are the most common bacteria isolated, its presentation as multifocal brain abscesses is rarely described. In this report, we describe a 43-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department due to progressive lethargy and low-grade fever of seven days worsening. Upon further evaluation, the patient was found to have multiple brain abscesses secondary to confirmed by the culture of stereotactic aspiration of brain collection. This case underlines the importance of considering as a cause of multifocal brain abscesses.
脑脓肿是一种危及生命的疾病，当脑内感染导致脑炎并随后在血管丰富的包膜内形成脓液时就会发生。虽然链球菌（需氧菌、厌氧菌和微需氧菌）是最常分离出的细菌，但其表现为多灶性脑脓肿的情况很少被描述。在本报告中，我们描述了一名43岁男性患者，他因进行性嗜睡和持续7天加重的低热而到急诊科就诊。经过进一步评估，通过对脑采集物进行立体定向抽吸培养确诊，该患者继发于[此处原文缺失相关内容]的多个脑脓肿。本病例强调了将[此处原文缺失相关内容]视为多灶性脑脓肿病因的重要性。
