چکیده
|
Aggregatibacter aphrophilus rarely causes brain abscesses. here we report a case of the brain abscess caused by aggregatibacter aphrophilus. cultivated gram negative coccobacilli from cerebral abscess were initially misidentified as brucella spp. because it gave false positive agglutination with anti-brucella sera. definite identification was made with maldi-tof assay. right to left shunt through the pulmonary arteriovenous malformation was speculated to be the underlying cause for the brain abscess. the patient was treated successfully with ampicillin-sulbactam after failing ceftriaxone treatment. © 2016,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
