Nevada Children Have Experienced Rare
Brain Infections and Abscesses As CDC Investigates








The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated in 2022 the possibility that SARS-CoV-2
contributed to brain abscesses reported in children. The study was triggered by three California cases
of children hospitalized with the rare condition.

A September 2022 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report issued by the CDC concluded the number of
reported cases was within normal ranges. “No evidence of increased case severity, genetic relatedness
of streptococcal isolates from different cases, or increased antimicrobial resistance was identified,”
agency researchers stated.

Since then, there has been a reported spike in pediatric brain abscesses reported in Nevada.


After cases of brain abscesses in children reportedly tripled last year in southern Nevada, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating potential reasons for the spike.




Dr. Taryn Bragg, a pediatric neurosurgeon at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital
in Las Vegas, Nevada, reported the unexpected number of cases to the Southern Nevada
Health District, which issued a public health advisory in January 2023.

“We started noticing the infections in March 2022,” Dr. Bragg told “Fox & Friends Weekend”
on Sunday morning. “The vast majority of children presented with sinus infections that
fairly rapidly progressed to abscesses forming in the brain.”
