Cerebritis bifrontal y absceso cerebral por Streptococcus del grupo anginosus, en paciente previamente sano: Caso clínico

The etiology of brain abscesses is mostly polymicrobial. Streptococci and anaerobic bacteria are the most commonly isolated pathogens. We report a previously healthy female without predisposingfactors, presenting with a bifrontal cerebritis caused by a Streptococcus anginosus group infection. The pa...
