Abstract

Parvimonas micra is a gram-positive coccus which is an obligate anaerobe. It is a commensal in the oropharyngeal cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. The genus Parvimonas has only a single species, P. micra. Although there are several reports of infections due to P. micra involving various body sites, cases of brain abscess due to this organism have been under-reported in the literature. Here we present a rare case of cerebellar abscess caused by P. micra in a nine-year-old boy with complex cyanotic heart disease.

一个罕见的分离微小微小单胞菌小脑脓肿患者的复杂紫绀性心脏病。

微细小单胞菌是一种革兰氏阳性球菌，是专性厌氧菌。它是口咽腔和胃肠道的共生体。小单胞菌属只有一种，微单胞菌。虽然有几篇关于微假单胞菌感染涉及身体各个部位的报道，但文献中由于这种微生物引起的脑脓肿病例报道不足。我们在此报告一个罕见的由微胞杆菌引起的小脑脓肿病例，患者为九岁男童，并发复杂的紫绀型心脏病。

期刊介绍： Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes. Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
