Clinical characteristics and outcome analysis of 94 children with brain abscess in Beijing: A single-center retrospective study

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal Oct 15, 2020

Dou ZZ, Guo LY, Liu LL, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for analyzing clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric brain abscess in recent years in China. The clinical data of children with brain abscess (n = 94) hospitalized in Beijing Children’s Hospital between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2016, have been retrospectively reviewed. They identified a Streptococcus milleri group (13.8%) as the most common causative organisms, followed by Staphylococcus aureus (6.4%). Brain abscess is a serious, high-mortality disease in children; more intensive care should be considered in the first week of diagnosis due to a high risk of death, and in patients with multiple brain abscesses and intraventricular rupture due to a higher risk of unfavorable brain abscess/hydrocephalus.
