A CDC report reveals a concerning increase in pediatric brain abscess cases in the wake of pandemic restrictions being lifted in the United States. The data shows a peak of 102 cases in December 2022, well above the baseline maximum of 61 monthly cases. These brain abscesses are often triggered by respiratory infections, including COVID-19, flu, and sinusitis, emphasizing the importance of keeping children up-to-date with vaccinations. While such cases are relatively rare, they pose serious risks, requiring prompt treatment with antibiotics and sometimes surgery. The CDC is closely monitoring this trend and advising doctors to remain vigilant, particularly among children with respiratory symptoms.
