Case report:Enterobacter Meningitis Due To Dermoid Cyst Manipulation

خلاصه انگلیسی

Gram-negative meningitis can occurssubsequent to dura-arachnoid barrier disruption because of trauma, surgery and rarely an infected dermoid cyst. Association of neurosurgical procedures with Gramnegative meningitis was described for the first time in 1940. Intracranial infections from gram-negative bacilli like Enterobacter are serious and difficult to treat as many antibiotics fail to achieve bactericidal concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid. Here in, we report a rare case of pediatric Enterobacter meningitis in a patient with a dermoid cyst that had been manipulated. She was managed with antibiotic therapy plus surgical removal of the infected cyst. Keywords: Meningitis؛ Enterobacter؛ Antibacterial agents؛ Dermoid cyst
