Thalamic abscess caused by a rare pathogen: streptococcus constellatus
Streptococcus constellatus is a microorganism that lives commensally in the oropharyngeal region, urogenital region, and intestinal tract. However, it can cause infection in patients with certain predisposing factors. Rarely, this microorganism can cause a brain abscess. Thalamic localization of brain abscesses is much rarer than abscesses in other locations of the brain. Brain abscess caused b...
متن کاملFatal subdural empyema caused by Streptococcus constellatus and Actinomyces viscosus in a child--case report.
Group milleri streptococci that colonize the mouth and the upper airways are generally considered to be commensal. In combination with anaerobics, they are rarely responsible for brain abscesses in patients with certain predisposing factors. Mortality in such cases is high and complications are frequent. We present a case of fatal subdural empyema caused by Streptococcus constellatus and Actino...
متن کاملStreptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus (the Streptococcus milleri group): association with different body sites and clinical infections.
The associations of Streptococcus intermedius, S. constellatus, and S. anginosus (the three species of the S. milleri group) with clinical infections and sites of isolation were investigated by using a simple biochemical scheme to identify a collection of 153 clinical isolates. S. intermedius was associated with abscesses of the brain and liver, while both S. anginosus and S. constellatus were ...
متن کاملMultiple pyogenic liver abscesses caused by Streptococcus constellatus in the Amazon region. Case report.
There are few studies reporting pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) caused by Streptococcus constellatus in the medical literature. S. constellatus is a comensal microorganism that belongs to the Streptococcus milleri's bacteria group and is not considered to be pathogenic for humans. We report the case of a 23-year-old man with a 15-days history of abdominal pain in the right flank followed by daily ...
متن کامل[Endophthalmitis and multiple brain abscess in a patient with endocarditis due to Streptococcus agalactiae].
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare disease caused by hematogenic germ spread from an internal focus. Infections due to Streptococcus agalactiae are infrequent in adults although new cases had been described recently associated to inmunodepression. We present a patient with endocarditis due to Streptococcus agalactiae, endophthalmitis and multiple brain abscess. We also review the literature.
