Haemophilus paraphrophilus frontal lobe abscess: case report.
We report a case of cerebral abscess due to Haemophilus paraphrophilus in a 51-year-old man who was otherwise healthy and had no cardiac abnormality. A source for the infection was not definitively identified; however, the patient had had dental manipulations 2 weeks before the onset of symptoms, and an oral source is probable. The patient was treated successfully with antibiotics after removal of the abscess. Bacteriological studies are discussed.
