Here, we present a case of a healthy young man with an initial presentation concerning for infectious encephalitis later found on neuroimaging to have extensive intracranial lesions. Pathological analysis of these lesions was consistent with a bacterial intraparenchymal abscess; however, cultures were negative for a causative organism. Results of gene sequencing from an abscess sample were consistent with infection. , a β-hemolytic gram-positive species of the group (SAG), is known to possess several virulence factors that promote abscess formation.
在此,我们报告一例健康年轻男性病例,其最初表现疑似感染性脑炎,后来神经影像学检查发现有广泛的颅内病变。这些病变的病理分析与细菌性脑实质脓肿一致;然而,培养未发现致病微生物。脓肿样本的基因测序结果与感染相符。已知A组链球菌(SAG)中的一种β溶血性革兰氏阳性菌具有多种促进脓肿形成的毒力因子。
