We report a case of meningitis caused by Bacillus anthracis. Although this agent appears to be a rare pathogen, it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of haemorrhagic meningitis cases owing to the high mortality rate associated with it.
我们报告一例由炭疽芽孢杆菌引起的脑膜炎病例。尽管该病原体似乎是一种罕见的致病菌,但鉴于与之相关的高死亡率,在出血性脑膜炎病例的鉴别诊断中应始终予以考虑。
