A case report of treatment of a streptococcal brain abscess with ceftobiprole supported by the measurement of drug levels in the cerebrospinal fluid
HELIYON(2024)
摘要
In this paper, we describe the case of a patient admitted to our hospital because of a brain abscess due to Streptococcus intermedius. The management of brain abscess is challenging given the limited potential drug options with effective penetration into both the central nervous system and the abscess capsule to achieve adequate therapeutic concentrations. Due to the high antistreptococcal activity of ceftobiprole and the availability of ceftobiprole therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital, we decided to treat the patient with ceftobiprole. To maximize the antimicrobial effect of ceftobiprole, we chose a prolonged intravenous infusion, and we monitored its concentrations in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.
