Vidal JE et al. – A 39–year–old homosexual man showed mental confusion and worsening of a frontal brain lesion after two weeks with antitoxoplasma therapy. Empiric treatment for central nervous system tuberculosis and pyogenic brain abscess was started. He underwent surgical drainage and the diagnosis of brain abscess due to viridans streptococci was confirmed. All empiric treatments were stopped and ceftriaxone was used for eight weeks, showing complete clinical and radiological resolution.
