Brody's abscess

Abscess (abscessus) of Brody, or the so-called “Salcedo abscess” is an acute purulent-necrotic inflammation of several follicles (hair follicles) and the sebaceous gland in the area of ​​​​innervation of one or more spinal roots.

However, some medical sources state that Brody isolated Streptococcus pyogenes for the first time in the same year and this was the first after the identification of this microorganism to be called streptolysis bovis
