NOSOCOMIAL BACTERIAL MENINGITIS, INCLUDING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM SHUNT INFECTIONS

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1999
Nosocomial bacterial meningitis and CSF shunt infections result in considerable morbidity and mortality, necessitating an organized and thoughtful approach to prevention, diagnosis, and management. Prophylactic antibiotics appear to reduce the rate of postcraniotomy meningitis often caused by S. aureus.

Optimal antibiotic therapy for bacterial central nervous system infections in adults

Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy
Central nervous system (CNS) infections are a health concern, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Community-acquired and nosocomial meningitis are distinct entities with potentially different pathogens involved. Prompt antibiotic therapy is crucial.

Bacterial infections of the central nervous system

European Journal of Neurology, 2010
Bacterial infections of the nervous system are often challenging for the treating physician because sensitivity and specificity of clinical signs do not reach 100%. In patients with neuroborreliosis and bacterial meningitis, investigations of the cerebrospinal fluid are necessary to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.

Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2013
Bacterial CNS infections comprise a wide spectrum of diseases, which may be acquired outside or inside the hospital, affect immunocompetent or immunocompromised patients, and be associated with trauma or procedures, as well as other exposures.

Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System

Seminars in Neurology, 2019
AbstractAcute bacterial meningitis and spinal epidural abscess are neurological emergencies. Acute bacterial meningitis may present with symptoms as nonspecific as headache and fever, but rapid progression to an altered level of consciousness is not unusual.

Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2018
Bacterial infections of the central nervous system (CNS) continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The spectrum of bacterial infection of CNS includes; focal or multifocal infections like brain abscesses or subdural empyema; or more generalized or diffuse infections like pyogenic meningitis or ventriculitis.

SPECIFIC THERAPY OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1949
Therapeutic agents are now available to combat most bacterial infections of the central nervous system. Consequently, proper treatment depends on (1) prompt diagnosis of the disease, (2) prompt determination of the etiologic agent and (3) selection of the appropriate drug or antibiotic.

Bacterial Colonisation and Infection in Lesions of the Central Nervous System

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1975
SUMMARYA study was made of the pattern of bacterial colonisation during the first month of life in a group of 116 newborn infants with spina bifida. 55 patients subsequently developed a total of 90 infective episodes and in over three‐quarters of these episodes there was a correlation between the infecting and colonising organisms.
