Abstract:
Adult meningitis caused by Flavobacterium meningosepticum is rare. Five cases have been reported in the literature. The case reported herein developed in a woman after a transsphenoidal hypophysectomy. The isolate was resistant to erythromycin. Treatment with oral rifampicin combined with intravenous chloramphenicol and cefoperazone resulted in complete recovery.
