  • Title: ['Sterile' brain abscesses (author's transl)].
    Author: Burkert W, Schön R, Höhne C.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1980; 105(2):128-31. PubMed ID: 7415618.
    Abstract:
    In 16 cases of brain abscess (1970 to 1976) 10 could be identified to be bacteriologically sterile. However in 5 cases of "sterile" cerebral abscesses, where swabs were taken under anaerobic conditions, it was possible to isolate anaerobic bacteria in every case. It is concluded that in reality thse so-called "sterile" brain abscesses were also contaminated with anaerobes.
