Abstract

We report the first case of acute meningitis caused by a rare, atypical pathogen. An 11-month-old infant was admitted to hospital with clinical symptoms typical of acute meningitis. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed an elevated neutrophil cell count and high proteins. Microbiological examination of the fluid confirmed an atypical cause of meningitis--Staphylococcus intermedius. Antibiotic therapy with cefotaxime was successful and the child made a full recovery.
