Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is an uncommon pathogen causing meningitis. We report a case of adult meningitis caused by chryseobacterium meningosepticum in an 88 year old woman. Immunosuppression due to old age, diabetes mellitus and history of hypertension of 20 years duration were the concomitant factors. chryseobacterium meningosepticum was isolated both from the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures. This organism was sensitive to quinolones, rifampicin and resistant to many antibiotics commonly used for empiric therapy for meningitis.
脑膜败血金黄杆菌是一种引起脑膜炎的罕见病原体。我们报告一例88岁女性由脑膜败血金黄杆菌引起的成人脑膜炎病例。高龄、糖尿病以及长达20年的高血压病史导致的免疫抑制是伴随因素。脑膜败血金黄杆菌在脑脊液和血培养中均被分离出来。该菌对喹诺酮类、利福平敏感，对许多常用于脑膜炎经验性治疗的抗生素耐药。
