  • Title: An unusual case of neonatal brain abscess following Klebsiella pneumoniae septicemia.
    Author: Basu S, Mukherjee KK, Poddar B, Goraya JS, Chawla K, Parmar VR.
    Journal: Infection; 2001 Oct; 29(5):283-5. PubMed ID: 11688909.
    Abstract:
    A case of solitary brain abscess in a term neonate caused by Kiebsiella pneumoniae is described. K. pneumoniae, although a common cause of neonatal septicemia, is rarely implicated as an etiological agent for cerebral abscess in this age-group. The interest of this case lies in the rarity of the causative organism and atypical features. In the absence of predisposing factors in the neonate, we suspect that the infection was transmitted vertically from the mother before or at the time of delivery since there was evidence of asymtomatic urinary tract infection in the antenatal period.
