Abstract
We describe an 80-year-old lady with a meningoencephalitic illness followed by vertebral discitis. Enterococcus avium was cultured from her cerebrospinal fluid. No other pathogen was incriminated in her illness. The meningoencephalitic illness settled after 3 weeks of antimicrobials, but the vertebral discitis required longer therapy.Entities:
