Cranial Subdural Empyema Due to <i>Citrobacter koseri</i> in a 96-Year-Old Immunocompromised Patient: Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Surg
Subdural empyema (SDE) is a life‐threatening condition. Reports on SDE are scarce. We report the case of a 96‐year‐old immunocompromised patient on steroids for pemphigus who received repeat burrhole trephination and antibiotics to treat SDE. We identified Citrobacter koseri as the causative pathogen. Our patient made a good recovery at 2 months.

Utility of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing in Identifying Anaerobic Pathogens in a Pediatric Brain Abscess Secondary to Sinusitis: A Case Report [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In this pediatric brain abscess case, metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) identified an anaerobic bacterium that remained undetected using conventional culture methods, thus providing clinically relevant information for antimicrobial management. This indicates that mNGS may be a useful adjunct for optimizing treatment strategies.
