Resumo: Capnocytophaga spp. are part of the oral flora of humans and animals, being responsible for skin and soft tissues infections and invasive infections. Microbiological identification can be difficult due to its slow growth. We present a case of infection caused by this bacteria in the form of an extracerebral intracranial abscess, presenting as a frontal mass that posed some diagnostic challenges. A surgical drainage was performed together with antibiotic therapy with favourable outcome. This microorganism was identified in the second week of treatment and then a careful history revealed a dog bite days prior to the initial symptoms. This could have been the site of entry to a posterior focalization.

A identificação microbiológica pode ser difícil devido ao seu crescimento lento. Apresenta-se um caso clínico de infecção por esta bactéria, sob a forma de abcesso intracraniano extracerebral, que se manifestou como tumefacção frontal e colocou alguns desafios de diagnóstico. Foi efectuada drenagem cirúrgica e tratamento antibiótico com evolução favorável. A identificação do microrganismo ocorreu na segunda semana de tratamento e uma anamnese detalhada revelou mordedura de cão dias antes dos sintomas iniciais. Esta poderá ter sido a porta de entrada, com focalização posterior.Ordem dos Médicos2012-07-23info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/x-pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/40oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/40Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 25 No. 3 (2012): May-June; 197-198Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 25 N.º 3 (2012): Maio-Junho; 197-1981646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/40https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/40/43Rubino, GinaCorreia, AlexandreRodrigues, Fernandainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-20T10:55:44Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/40Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:16:21.338125Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
