Resum
Nosocomial meningitis is rare, and routine cerebrospinal fluid study is seldom recommended for hospitalized patients with fever and acute delirium. We present a case of Enterobacter cloacae meningitis complicated with a nontraumatic pneumocephalus. Maintaining a high index of suspicion of nosocomial meningitis is crucial in patients with acute delirium and multiple underlying comorbid conditions.
