A 63-year-old woman presented at a hospital with sudden vision loss in her right eye. Medical imaging revealed inflammation in her eye and lesions in her brain, particularly in the parietal lobe. Doctors suspected a brain abscess and found evidence of infection through blood and urine tests.

This case was detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine.
