, or , is an organism rarely reported as a human pathogen of concern. Commonly missed due to its rarity, emerging literature has shown its potential for pathogenicity; therefore, increased vigilance must always be observed in dealing with these bacteria, especially in immunocompromised patients and those with indwelling catheters, foreign bodies, and prosthetic implants. We present a case of a patient who came in for a persistent headache, found to have meningitis, and ended up with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CSVT) on further investigation. Interestingly, the patient did not have any other medical conditions, nor did he have any indwelling catheters or foreign bodies. After an extensive literature review, we report the first case of CSVT caused by meningitis in an immunocompetent patient, and we aim to shed light on the diagnosis and treatment approach in this unusual case.
[细菌名称],或[另一名称],是一种很少被报道为引起人类关注的病原体的微生物。由于其罕见性,通常会被漏诊,然而新出现的文献表明它具有致病潜力;因此,在处理这些细菌时必须始终保持更高的警惕,尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者以及那些有留置导管、异物和假体植入物的患者中。我们报告一例患者,该患者因持续性头痛前来就诊,被发现患有脑膜炎,进一步检查后最终诊断为脑静脉窦血栓形成(CSVT)。有趣的是,该患者没有任何其他疾病,也没有任何留置导管或异物。经过广泛的文献检索,我们报告了首例在免疫功能正常的患者中由[细菌名称]脑膜炎引起的CSVT病例,我们旨在阐明这一罕见病例的诊断和治疗方法。
