Meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is an unusual illness that is often associated with bacteremia, contiguous infection and/or a post-neurosurgical state. Until recently, most cases were caused by methicillin-susceptible strains, but there are a few reports of methicillinresistant S aureus strains causing meningitis. A new case of meningitis caused by methicillin-resistant S aureus in a neonatal intensive care nurse who did not have bacteremia or neurosurgery is reported. The patient made a full recovery after treatment with vancomycin and rifampin.
金黄色葡萄球菌引起的脑膜炎是一种不常见的疾病，通常与菌血症、邻近感染和/或神经外科手术后状态有关。直到最近，大多数病例都是由耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌引起的，但也有少数耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌引起脑膜炎的报告。报告了一例新的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌引起的脑膜炎病例，发生在一名新生儿重症监护护士身上，该护士没有菌血症或神经外科手术史。患者经万古霉素和利福平治疗后完全康复。
