Abstract

Brain abscess is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring rapid diagnosis and prompt medical and surgical intervention. Various etiological agents associated with different epidemiological backgrounds are implicated, including Gram-positive and Gram- negative bacterial agents as well as anaerobes. Salmonella is rarely reported to be the cause of this medical condition despite being known to cause invasive infections at extremes of age and the fact that this organism is a common cause of other clinical infectious diseases encountered in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. A case of Salmonella brain abscess involving the right posterior parietal region of the brain is described in a 6-month-old infant. The clinical, microbiological, and radiological features, as well as the clinical management and outcome, are presented. This case highlights the slow-progression nature of brain abscess caused by Salmonella species and the challenge in achieving optimal resolution despite initial surgical intervention.

婴儿的沙门氏菌脑脓肿。
脑脓肿是一种潜在的危及生命的疾病,需要快速诊断和及时的医疗和手术干预。涉及与不同流行病学背景相关的各种病因,包括革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌病原体以及厌氧菌。沙门氏菌很少被报道为导致这种疾病的原因,尽管已知在极端年龄时引起侵袭性感染,而且这种有机体是免疫功能低下和免疫功能正常的个体中遇到的其他临床传染病的常见原因。一例沙门氏菌脑脓肿涉及大脑的右后顶叶区域描述在一个6个月大的婴儿。临床,微生物学和放射学的特点,以及临床管理和结果,提出。该病例强调了沙门氏菌引起的脑脓肿的缓慢进展性质,以及尽管最初的手术干预,仍难以达到最佳解决方案。
