Serratia meningoencephalitis is often a fatal disease that causes widespread destruction of brain tissue despite aggressive antibiotic treatment. The autopsy findings of 2 cases are described. In a case caused by S. liquefaciens, previously not reported as the causative organism of meningoencephalitis, suppurative meningitis, ventriculitis, vasculitis, and extensive necrotic process of the brain matter were found. In the other case, caused by S. marcescens, the findings were those of acute and subacute abscesses with hemorrhagic necrosis.
粘质沙雷氏菌脑膜炎脑炎通常是一种致命疾病，尽管进行了积极的抗生素治疗，仍会导致脑组织广泛破坏。本文描述了2例尸检结果。在1例由液化沙雷氏菌引起的病例中（此前未报告该菌为脑膜炎脑炎的病原体），发现有化脓性脑膜炎、脑室炎、血管炎以及脑实质广泛坏死。在另1例由粘质沙雷氏菌引起的病例中，发现有急性和亚急性脓肿伴出血性坏死。
