Abstract

脳膿瘍は,近年死亡率や治癒率の改善を認めているものの,迅速な外科的処置に加え,原因微生物に対して適切な抗菌薬投与が速やかに行われなければ予後の悪化を招く。今回我々は,42歳男性に発症したAggregatibacter aphrophilusとStreptococcus intermediusの複数菌感染による脳膿瘍の1 例を経験した。生来健康であったが,入院時の歯科診察で多数の齲歯を認め,口腔内からの血行感染が疑われた。外科的ドレナージ術が施行され,膿培養からS. intermediusが検出同定された。その5 日後に同一検体から,これまでに報告例が少ないA. aphrophilusが新たに分離同定された。脳膿瘍の予後不良因子の1つとして,複数の原因菌が挙げられており,本症例は適切な抗菌薬投与および外科的処置が速やかに行われたことが予後改善の要因と考えられた。 ; We report a case of brain abscess caused by Aggregatibacter aphrophilus and Streptococcus intermedius in a 42-year-old apparently healthy man. S. intermedius and A. aphrophilus were isolated by a general culture test using the abscess aspirate. Although few studies have reported cases of brain abscess caused by A. aphrophilus, recent studies using the 16 s ribosomal sequence method have improved our understanding by microorganisms, particularly fastidious organisms. Poor prognostic factors include polymicrobial infections, age, consciousness, multiple brain abscesses, and ventricular rupture. In the present report, prompt initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy and the surgical procedure resulted in good outcomes.
