Streptococcus suis: meningitis, spondylodiscitis and bacteraemia with a serotype 14 strain.

Abstract

Meningitis and spondylodiscitis caused by Streptococcus suis is a rare disease which is contracted by occupational exposure to pigs. We report a 54-y-old pig-farm worker with S. suis meningitis and septicaemia complicated with thoracal and lumbar spine spondylodiscitis. The S. suis strain involved in this case report was identified as serotype 14, which has only been described in 2 previous cases. It is important to report infection with S. suis as a work accident for compensation if the patient has been occupationally exposed to pigs.
