We aim to raise awareness of the role of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) in causing endovascular and central nervous system infections, and to promote recognition of SDSE as a pathogen that may cause serious invasive infections.
Central nervous system (CNS) infection with
Klebsiella pneumoniae
can be a complication of invasive liver abscess syndrome; however, CNS infections due to
K. pneumoniae
without liver abscesses are rare. We report three fatal cases of CNS infection due to
K. pneumoniae
that lacked liver abscesses during the initial investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
