Abstract
A report is given of effective non-surgical treatment with antibiotics in a patient with a large brain abscess. Non-surgical treatment of brain abscesses may be possible if massive doses of specific bactericidal antibiotics are used and the patients are followed up with frequent brain scans and computerized tomography. Es wird über die wirksame, nichtchirurgische antibiotische Behandlung eines Patienten mit großem Gehirnabszeß berichtet. Die nichtchirurgische Behandlung von Gehirnabszessen ist möglich, wenn massive Dosen spezifischer bakterizider Antibiotika eingesetzt und die Patienten durch häufige Gehirnszintigramme und Computer-Tomographie nachbeobachtet werden.Keywords
