Abstract

Streptococcal Species is increasingly recognized as a potentially preventable emerging infection in human's brain with high prevalence around the world. Streptococcus constellatus is one of the most common pathogens. Meanwhile, anaerobic bacteria are the rare causes for intracranial infection. To date, intracranial mixed infection caused by Prevotella intermedia and Streptococcus constellatus has not been reported. We reported a Chinese case to raise the global awareness of severity of the intracranial mixed infection. Here, we illustrated the epidemiological risk factors, clinical manifestations and outcomes of the patient. For patients who suffer from exacerbated brain infection with fetid cerebrospinal fluid, early repeated imaging is urgently needed and empiric antibiotic therapy should consider anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in these situations.
