Abstract

A case of bacterial meningitis caused by Enterococcus is described. A previously healthy 15-year-old boy presented headache, fever, and unconsciousness. Nuchal rigidity, Kerning and Brudzynski signs were observed in neurological examination. The leukocyte count in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was 15.000 $mu$l (96 % neutrophils). He was treated with penicillin G 20 million unites/day. He died within 10 hours. Enterococcus was isolated from his CSF. The causative agent was resistant to the glycopeptide antibiotics.
