A 47-year-old man presented with headache, nausea, vomiting and fever. Laboratory findings including analysis of cerebrospinal fluid suggested bacterial meningitis. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was identified in cultures of cerebrospinal fluid. The patient recovered without any neurological sequelae after antimicrobial treatment. It is interesting that intracranial infection by E. rhusiopathiae reappeared after scores of years and that it presented with absence of an underlying cause or bacteraemia.
一名47岁男性出现头痛、恶心、呕吐和发热症状。包括脑脊液分析在内的实验室检查结果提示为细菌性脑膜炎。在脑脊液培养中鉴定出猪红斑丹毒丝菌。患者经抗菌治疗后康复，未留下任何神经后遗症。有趣的是，猪红斑丹毒丝菌引起的颅内感染在数十年后再次出现，且没有潜在病因或菌血症。
