Abstract:

Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is a Gram-negative bacillus historically associated with meningitis and sepsis in premature neonates. Clinicians should suspect this organism when Gram-negative bacilli are seen on Gram-stain and culture, particularly in immunocompromised patients, and in cases of disrupted host tissue integrity. We report the first case of septic arthritis due to this organism.

Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction

Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening inflammation of the meninges, particularly the pia mater and arachnoid mater, affecting the subarachnoid space, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If untreated, it can lead to significant neurological complications or death.Causative AgentsCommon pathogens vary with age and immune status. In adults, major organisms include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Streptococcus agalactiae (group B...
