Abstract

Brain
abscess is a collection of pus in the parenchyma of brain. Most common
infecting organisms are streptococci, staphylococci and anaerobes, depending
upon the source from which it originates. Clostridium
cadaveris
and Clostridium sporogenes
are common organisms found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans, rarely
producing disease. Few cases of bacteremia and abscesses are reported with
these organisms.  We hereby report the
first case of brain abscess with C
cadaveris
and C. sporogenes in a
young male with good outcome by surgical and medical management
. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2019; 9(3):129-132.
