Deep 16S rDNA Sequencing of Chronic Subdural Hematomas Suggests Involvement of Bacterial Infection in Recurrences
These findings suggest that bacterial DNA is present in a subset of recurrent CSDH, suggesting that bacteria could be involved in recurrences. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to determine whether antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory strategies might help reduce recurrence.
