  • Title: Association of cerebral mycotic aneurysm and brain abscess.
    Author: Pozzati E, Tognetti F, Padovani R, Gaist G.
    Journal: Neurochirurgia (Stuttg); 1983 Jan; 26(1):18-20. PubMed ID: 6687753.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of brain abscess which occurred as a possible complication of a mycotic aneurysm. Inadequate antibiotic treatment given at the time of a febrile illness in a patient with rheumatic heart disease seems to be the most likely cause of this unusual complication. The effects of inadequate antibiotic treatment on the pathogenesis are briefly discussed.
