| Core Tip |
Prevotella oris is an anaerobic, gram-negative, nonpigmented bacterium that rarely results in central nervous system infection. To date, only one case has been reported of Prevotella oris causing central nervous system infection. We report a patient who suffered from meningitis and spinal canal infection due to Prevotella oris. Using the metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) method, the pathogen was identified in time, although the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures were negative. Early detection of pathogens is crucial for patient survival and prognosis. Although it is uncommon, clinicians should consider the possibility of Prevotella oris-induced meningitis and spinal canal infection, in which circumstance mNGS may be an efficient technique in detecting pathogens. Through a literature review, we analyzed the characteristics of Prevotella oris-induced infection and found that all patients were male, some of whom were initially diagnosed with a tuberculous infection; the most commonly used antimicrobial agent was metronidazole. This information may provide references for future studies. |
