Abstract |
We describe a patient with meningitis and a subdural empyema arising from an infection after teeth extraction in which Capnocytophaga species was detected. The patient was a 54-y-old man without any underlying diseases. A computerized tomography scan showed a subdural empyema 21 d after the extraction.
