A 5.5-year-old French bulldog was presented with acute neck pain and a short history of central vestibular syndrome. A marked neutrophilic pleocytosis and numerous gram-positive cocci were evident on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology. Streptococcus pneumoniae, a pathogen of humans, was isolated upon CSF microbiological culture. Treatment consisted of intravenous antibiotics, supportive care, and anticonvulsants for the generalized seizures which developed shortly after admission. The dog responded to therapy and two years later exhibited only a mild, residual head tilt. The pathogenesis and treatment of bacterial meningoencephalitis in dogs are reviewed.
一只5.5岁的法国斗牛犬出现急性颈部疼痛和中枢性前庭综合征的短暂病史。脑脊液（CSF）细胞学检查显示明显的中性粒细胞增多和大量革兰氏阳性球菌。脑脊液微生物培养分离出人类病原体肺炎链球菌。治疗包括静脉注射抗生素、支持治疗以及针对入院后不久出现的全身性癫痫发作使用抗惊厥药物。这只狗对治疗有反应，两年后仅表现出轻微的残留头部倾斜。本文综述了犬细菌性脑膜脑炎的发病机制和治疗方法。
