Blood test may replace brain surgery for infection diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07479225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a blood test can identify the bacteria causing a brain abscess, potentially avoiding the need for brain surgery to get a sample. Researchers will compare the germs found in the blood with those found in the abscess during surgery in 15 adults. If successful, this approach could make diagnosis safer and faster for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
