C P Darby, E Conner, C U Kyong

    Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology
    |June 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare brain abscess in a neonate caused by Proteus mirabilis persisted undetected for 2.5 months. This case highlights the importance of considering unusual infections in septic infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Brain abscesses are uncommon in neonates.
    • Septic infants present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of a neonate with a Proteus mirabilis brain abscess is presented.
    • The abscess remained undetected until 2.5 months of age.

    Findings:

    • Proteus mirabilis identified as the causative agent of neonatal brain abscess.
    • Delayed diagnosis of brain abscess in a septic infant.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for vigilance in diagnosing brain abscesses in neonates, even with atypical presentations.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering Proteus mirabilis in neonatal sepsis and abscess formation.
    • Suggests potential for prolonged, asymptomatic abscess development in this population.
