Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a potential life-threatening situation that requires immediate recognition and treatment. Cerebrovascular complications are uncommon and have been reported less frequently in adults than in children. We report a case of 59-year-old man with IPD complicated by cerebral vasculitis, transient central diabetes insipidus and spondylodiscitis. Each of these complications is rare and needs specific approach. Their association is even rarer and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case reported.
侵袭性肺炎球菌疾病(IPD)是一种可能危及生命的情况,需要立即识别和治疗。脑血管并发症并不常见,在成人中报告的频率低于儿童。我们报告一例59岁男性患有IPD并伴有脑血管炎、短暂性中枢性尿崩症和脊椎椎间盘炎。这些并发症中的每一种都很罕见,需要采取特定的治疗方法。它们同时出现更为罕见,据我们所知,这是首例报告病例。
