2.1.3. Brain Abscess: A Clinical Masterclass | Neurology & Infectious Disease

Dive into one of the most formidable challenges in medicine: the brain abscess. This clinical masterclass provides a comprehensive guide to this life-threatening neurological emergency, designed for healthcare professionals and students who need to master its complex diagnosis and management. We begin by defining the disease, exploring the pathogenic routes by which bacteria can invade the brain parenchyma. From there, we map out the critical diagnostic pathway, emphasizing patient stabilization, the risks of lumbar puncture, and the essential roles of neuroimaging and neurosurgical aspiration. Learn to predict the likely pathogens based on the initial source of infection and master the two-phase therapeutic attack, from broad-spectrum empiric coverage to narrow-spectrum directed therapy. We also explore the unique challenges of pediatric cases and conclude by addressing the aftermath: crucial infection control measures and the often-devastating long-term consequences for survivors.
