Prevotella Infection
Prevotella infection is caused by Prevotella species of bacteria that can affect a number of areas in the body, including the lungs, intestines, and skin. It is an opportunistic infection, meaning it takes advantage of weakened tissues caused by a poor immune system or certain medications. Symptoms of Prevotella infection vary depending upon which body system is affected, but include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Treatment involves antibiotics to clear the infection and in some cases, surgery. Prevotella infection is important to recognize and treat as it can cause serious complications and in some cases, death if left untreated.
