Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a rare cause of meningitis. Although it has a high mortality, the condition is easily treatable if diagnosed early since the bacteria retains its sensitivity to many antimicrobials. The authors report here two cases of GAS meningitis along with a review of world literature.
A组链球菌(GAS)是脑膜炎的罕见病因。尽管其死亡率很高,但如果早期诊断,病情很容易治疗,因为这种细菌对许多抗菌药物仍保持敏感。作者在此报告两例A组链球菌脑膜炎病例,并对世界文献进行综述。
