“…Another recent paper presented 4 cases of pediatric patients with fever, meningeal syndrome and seizures, diagnosed with cerebral abscess by brain imaging, with S. intermedius isolated from cerebrospinal fluid. 24 All 3 boys and the girl were over 12 years of age and recovered well after abscess puncture and antibiotic treatment.…”

The oral streptococci are microorganisms whose major habitat is the oral cavity and oropharynx. The Streptococcus anginosus group, formerly known as Streptococcus milleri group, comprises the following commensal species: S. anginosus, S. constellatus and S. intermedius. Sometimes these species may produce different oral or extraoral infections, especially oro-maxillo-facial infections and deepseated abscess. Objective: The aim of the present article was to provide the reader with the essential knowledge about S. anginosus group characteristics and a useful updated review of its important contribution to develop brain abscess. Data sources and selection: The most important evidence concerning the recent taxonomical data, main phenotypical features and findings referring to the involvement of these bacteria in causing cerebral abscess in adults and children were collected from PubMed/Medline database. Only articles published between January 2011-November 2015 were selected and the significant data have been presented in a synthesized form, without performing a meta-analysis. Conclusion: The S. anginosus group merits greater attention from both clinicians and microbiologists due to its importance in human pathology, especially in life-threatening infections, like brain abscesses, which often require a multidisciplinary team for proper diagnosis and treatment.

“…This gateway has become rare in Western countries [3]. In these countries the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of brain abscesses and empyema are well established and their prognosis has been improved thanks to a better knowledge of the microorganisms responsible and the development of antibiotics with good cerebral diffusion and a well-adapted spectrum, but also by the appearance of diagnostic tools that are less or not invasive (CT scan, stereotactic biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging [2][3][4]. Similarly, mortality, which was close to 100% at the beginning of the century, reflecting the ineffectiveness of the immune system in defending against this type of infection, is currently between 5 and 10% [2].…”

Introduction: Brain abscess is an intracranial suppuration producing a newly formed cavity. Otorhinolaryngological infections are one of the main causes. We report a case of cerebral abscess and empyema complicating pansinusitis in an 11-year-old adolescent treated at the Mali Hospital. Observation: He was an 11-year-old adolescent with a history of chronic headache who was admitted for left hemiplegia. The onset dates back to around 15 days marked by an unquantified fever, headache and then coma. A brain scan performed during hospitalization revealed a brain abscess and empyema, hence its reference to the Mali Hospital. At the entrance he had a fever of 38.5 ° C and a poor general condition. He was aware, well oriented and consistent. He had flaccid left hemiplegia with preservation of peripheral sensitivity. Cardiorespiratory examination and oto-rhinolaryngological were normal. Surgical drainage associated with medical treatment including ceftriaxone 100 mg/kg/d direct intravenous for 15 days, gentamycin; 3 mg/kg/d intramuscular for 3 days, metronidazole : 10 mg/kg /12 hours intravenously slowly for 15 days, paracetamol: 15 mg/kg /6 hours intravenously slowly, glucose serum 10%: 100 ml/kg /day infused and red blood cell concentrate group O+: 20 ml/Kg intravenously slowly have been introduced. The relay was done with ciprofloxacin 10mg/Kg/12 hours for 6 weeks by oral route. The postoperative follow-up was simple. He was discharged on the 15th day of hospitalization. Conclusion: Intracranial complications of sinusitis are serious and common in children in developing countries. The brain scanner is an indispensable tool for its diagnosis. Management is multidisciplinary. Prophylaxis is based on the correct treatment of otorhinolaryngological and oral infections.
