Case of a cerebral abscess caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis in a subject with periodontitis
We report the case of a 65-year-old man presenting with generalised seizures after developing a right frontal brain abscess. Stereotactic aspiration and subsequent matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight analyzer (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry revealed Porphyromonas gingivalis as the only causative anaerobe microorganism. Secondary incision and drainage was required due to neurolog...

Four months later, cortical destruction of the ulnar diaphysis with swelling and pain appeared in his forearm. No microorganism could be grown from an intraoperative tissue specimen, but bacterial 16S rRNA genes were detected by broad-range PCR, revealing Porphyromonas gingivalis as the causative agent of ...
متن کاملFirst report of a brain abscess caused by Nocardia veterana.
Among Nocardia species causing infections, Nocardia veterana is rarely isolated and is mostly described as causing pulmonary infections. This is the first presentation of a case of brain abscess attributable to an N. veterana infection in a patient with type 2 diabetes. Prolonged antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole led to successful clinical recovery.
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis
Editorial Periodontal diseases have long been associated with an increased, yet moderate, risk for the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The postulated mechanism underlying this association is the low grade systemic inflammatory response to pathogens engaged in chronic periodontal infection, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, which may facilitate atheroma formation and t...
