title: Cerebral abscess caused by Klebsiella ozaenae.
abstract: Klebsiella ozaenae is the putative cause of ozena or atrophic rhinitis. It has also been commonly isolated as a colonizing organism, but recent reports demonstrate its role as an invasive pathogen, especially in immunosuppressed hosts. We report the first known case of a cerebral abscess caused by K. ozaenae.
