Disulfiram Poisoning Causing Acute Encephalopathy
نویسنده
چکیده
There remains no doubt that primary abscesses are due to a hematogenous spread due to bacteremia and secondary abscess occurs as a result of direct spread of infection from an adjacent structure [2,3]. A case of primary psoas abscess with spondylodiscitis was published earlier by us [4]. Hernández-Ros, et al. commented that all authors must use the recent classification criteria and accordingly, that patient should have been diagnosed as secondary rather than primary psoas abscess.
