Unveiling Brevibacterium Species Isolated in the Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Report of a Rare Case.

This case emphasizes the significance of recognizing and managing Brevibacterium species. Here, we present a unique case of Brevibacterium species isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a 60-year-old female with recently diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and small cell carcinoma of the lung. Management involved a two-week course of intravenous vancomycin. Brevibacterium species are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. Sharing this case report aims to enhance the limited understanding of Brevibacterium species infections and encourages discussion among healthcare professionals regarding its diagnosis and management.
