A woman developed chronic meningitis from Acanthameba infection after surgery for uterovaginal prolapse and retained tampons. Treatment with albendazole was effective, though hydrocephalus remained as a complication.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Uterovaginal prolapse surgery can lead to complications.
  • Retained surgical materials pose infection risks.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old female presented with chronic meningitis.
  • The meningitis was diagnosed as Acanthameba infection.
  • This occurred post-uterovaginal prolapse surgery with retained vaginal tampons.

Findings:

  • The patient responded to a treatment regimen including albendazole.
  • Hydrocephalus was identified as a sequela of the infection.

Implications:

  • Acanthameba infections can cause severe neurological complications.
