  • Title: Brain abscess caused by Citrobacter koseri infection in an adult.
    Author: Liu HW, Chang CJ, Hsieh CT.
    Journal: Neurosciences (Riyadh); 2015 Apr; 20(2):170-2. PubMed ID: 25864072.
    Abstract:
    Citrobacter koseri is a gram-negative bacillus that causes mostly meningitis and brain abscesses in neonates and infants. However, brain abscess caused by Citrobacter koseri infection in an adult is extremely rare, and only 2 cases have been described. Here, we reported a 73-year-old male presenting with a 3-week headache. A history of diabetes mellitus was noted. The images revealed a brain abscess in the left frontal lobe and pus culture confirmed the growth of Citrobacter koseri. The clinical symptoms improved completely postoperatively.
