    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Cerebral abscesses are serious intracranial infections requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment.
    • Understanding the etiological factors is essential for effective management and improving patient prognosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the significance of bacteriological examination in diagnosing cerebral abscesses.
    • To analyze the etiological aspects of cerebral abscesses based on microbiological findings.
    • To correlate the etiology with clinical, anatomical, and prognostic factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 188 cases of cerebral abscesses diagnosed between 1970 and 1979.
    • Bacteriological investigation of abscess contents in 172 cases.

  • Identification of bacterial strains and assessment of polymicrobial infections.
  • Correlation of microbiological data with clinical presentation, evolution, and outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Bacteriological examination proved valuable in identifying causative agents.
    • Gram-negative bacteria were found to be the predominant flora in cerebral abscesses.
    • Monicrobial abscesses were observed in 131 cases, while 13 cases showed polymicrobial infections.
    • 28 cases yielded sterile cultures.
    • Significant correlations were established between etiology and pathogenic, anatomical, evolutive, and prognostic aspects.

    Conclusions:

    • Bacteriological analysis of cerebral abscess contents is vital for accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy.
    • Gram-negative bacteria represent a significant etiological factor in cerebral abscesses.
    • Understanding the etiological profile aids in predicting disease course and patient outcomes.
