Abstract
The European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases recommends 3rd generation cephalosporins and metronidazole for empirical treatment of community-acquired brain abscesses. In 53 retrospectively analyzed pediatric patients with community-acquired brain abscesses at a German University Hospital Staphylococcus aureuswas identified as a relevant pathogen (21%). Therefore, it may be reasonable to cover S. aureuswhen selecting empirical therapy.
