Abstract

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis. The mortality and morbidity of pneumococcal meningitis is high. A fatal case of pneumococcal meningoencephalitis with cortical cerebritis, ventricular fluid-fluid level and cerebellar infarction was reported to highlight the importance of pneumococcal vaccination and adjunctive treatment options.

Özet

Streptococcus pneumonia en sık görülen bakteriyel menenjit etkenidir. Pnömokok menenjitinin mortalite ve mobiditesi yüksektir. Mortal seyreden, kortikal serebrit, ventriküler sıvı-sıvı seviyesi olan ve serebellar infarktı olan hastamız pnömokok aşısının önemine ve tamamlayıcı tedavi seçeneklerine dikkat çekmek amacıyla bildirilmiştir.
