Abstract:
We report a case of restricted meningeal infection by atypical mycobacteria, identified by the polymerase chain reaction, in a non-immunocompromised adult successfully treated by multiple antibiotics including fluoroquinolone. New quinolones should be considered as a therapeutic option for such mycobacterial meningitis.
