Two patients developed meningitis due to Flavobacterium meningosepticum. Because of resistance to most available antimicrobial agents, intravenous and intraventricular erythromycin was administered to one patient. Subsequent development of resistance to erythromycin prompted the use of intravenous and intraventricular rifamycin, which eventually resulted in cure. Diagnosis of F. meningosepticum meningitis in the second patient was delayed, and appropriate therapy was not administered until 4 days prior to the patient's death. Of 82 previously published cases, only 4 occurred in adults. Therapy of meningitis due to this organism has been a difficult problem, and we suggest possible modes of therapy, based on our experience and a review of the literature.
两名患者因脑膜炎败血金黄杆菌感染而患上脑膜炎。由于对大多数可用抗菌药物耐药,其中一名患者接受了静脉内和脑室内红霉素治疗。随后对红霉素产生耐药性促使使用静脉内和脑室内利福平,最终实现治愈。第二名患者的脑膜炎败血金黄杆菌脑膜炎诊断被延误,直到患者死亡前4天才给予适当治疗。在之前发表的82例病例中,仅4例发生在成年人中。由该病原体引起的脑膜炎治疗一直是个难题,我们根据自身经验及文献回顾提出了可能的治疗方式。
