Abstract:
StaphyIococcus caprae is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus which has been originally isolated from goat and has been recognized as an important nosocomial pathogen. A patient with small B-cell lymphoma diagnosed with a brain abscess caused by Staphylococcus caprae infection was described in this paper. His prognosis was still poor after active treatment with meropenem, vancomycin and linezolid. The clinical characteristics of this patient and discussion of the possible pathogenesis were summarized, so as to provide information for clinicians′ understanding of Staphylococcus caprae infection.
