Cerebrospinal fluid penetration of amikacin in children with community-acquired bacterial meningitis
BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes is the third most frequent cause of bacterial meningitis. The aim of this study is to know the incidence and risk factors associated with development of acute community-acquired Lm meningitis in adult patients and to evaluate the clinical features, management, and outcome in this prospective case series. METHODS A descriptive, prospective, and multicentric st...
OBJECTIVE To study the changes in the epidemiology, clinical and bacteriological profiles of bacterial meningitis in the era of the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)vaccine and pneumococcus resistance. METHODS This is a retrospective study of children aged <12 years admitted to the Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar between January 1998 through December 2002 with positive cerebrospinal fluid ...
We initiated a worldwide collaborative study, including 455 episodes of bacteremia, to elucidate the clinical patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Historically, community-acquired pneumonia has been consistently associated with K. pneumoniae. Only four cases of community-acquired bacteremic K. pneumoniae pneumonia were seen in the 2-year study period in the United States, Argentina, Europe, or Au...
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a Gram-positive diplococcus responsible for a spectrum of clinical syndrome including non-invasive infections such as paranasal sinusitis, otitis media and lobar pneumonia as well as invasive diseases, such as bacteremic pneumonia and meningitis. Pneumococcus is the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in both ambulatory and hospital...
Bacterial pathogens are responsible for the most severe forms of pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory tract infections (RTI), which have high morbidity and mortality rates especially among the elderly and children under 5 years [1]. Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for the majority of community-acquired bacterial pneumonias and is also capable of causing meningitis, otitis media, and ot...
Meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans may be associated with elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), but management of this complication is often overlooked. We retrospectively analyzed 39 consecutive patients with cases of culture-proven, community-acquired meningitis and ascertained adherence to Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) practice guidelines for management of cryptococcal...
INTRODUCTION Community-acquired meningitis is a monomicrobial infection caused by either viruses or bacteria in the vast majority of patients. We report here one exceptional case of a patient with mixed bacterial meningitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 68-year-old immunocompromised Caucasian man suffering from otitis and...
