Overview
Causes
Abscesses are caused by many different pathogens based on their anatomical location. The following table summarizes pathogenic causes of abscesses.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][1][8][9][10]
| Anatomical location | Common causes | Less common causes | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brain abscess |
