Bacillus cereus meningitis and bacteremia associated with an Ommaya reservoir in a patient with lymphoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

After placement of an Ommaya reservoir, meningitis and bacteremia due to Bacillus cereus occurred in a patient with stage IV lymphoblastic lymphoma and meningeal involvement. Bacillus species have been implicated as meningeal pathogens after lumbar punctures. These organisms have become an important

Successful surgical drainage and aggressive medical therapy in a preterm neonate with Bacillus cereus meningitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus cereus meningitis is a rare disease with a very high mortality rate in neonates. The authors present the rare case of a premature infant with B. cereus bacteremia and subsequent intracranial abscesses. In addition to aggressive medical therapy, surgical drainage was performed via a left

Survival of a case of Bacillus cereus meningitis with brain abscess presenting as immune reconstitution syndrome after febrile neutropenia - a case report and literature review.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus cereus sometimes causes central nervous system infection, especially in compromised hosts. In cases of meningitis arising during neutropenia, CSF abnormalities tend to be subtle and can be easily overlooked, and mortality rate is high. We report a survived case of B. cereus

Meningitis and bacteremia due to Bacillus cereus. A case report and a review of Bacillus infections.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient with meningitis and bacteremia due to Bacillus cereus is described. The patient had transsphenoidal hypophysectomy for chromophobe adenoma, complicated by rhinorrhea, which was corrected by subarachnoid drainage. Three weeks after removal of the drain, the patient presented with meningitis

Fulminant postsurgical Bacillus cereus meningitis: case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 25-year-old woman presented with decreased level of consciousness, bilateral papilledema, and bitemporal hemianopsia. While receiving oxacillin prophylaxis, she underwent ventriculostomy and a transsphenoidal approach for the removal of a growth hormone- and prolactin-secreting adenoma of the

Bacillus cereus meningitis complicating cerebrospinal fluid fistula repair and spinal drainage.

Only registered users can translate articles

Non-anthrax Bacillus species are rare, but serious causes of bacterial meningitis in those either immunocompromised or treated with CSF diversion. Although resistant to first-line antibiotics, they usually respond to chloramphenicol. We report a case of fulminant Bacillus cereus meningitis that

Clinical manifestations of Bacillus cereus meningitis in newborn infants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) meningitis sometimes occurs in patients with risk factors, which are associated with central nervous system (CNS) anomalies, surgical or anaesthetic access to CNS. We observed two cases of B. cereus meningitis in neonates without such risk factors. The clinical courses of

Bacillus cereus Bloodstream Infection in a Preterm Neonate Complicated by Late Meningitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Central nervous system infections caused by Bacillus cereus have rarely been reported in infants. In this paper, the case of a 2-month-old low-birth-weight female who developed meningitis 45 days after resolution of a bloodstream infection (BSI) is described. The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis

Bacillus cereus meningitis in a term neonate.

Only registered users can translate articles

A case of Bacillus cereus meningitis in a term neonate without identifiable risk factors or source of the organism is presented. Prompt identification of the organism and treatment resulted in a favourable outcome.

Ventricular shunt infection and meningitis due to Bacillus cereus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Non-anthrax Bacillus species are usually considered to be contaminants if found in clinical specimens. Only a few patients with systemic infections due to Bacillus cereus are reported. We present the case of a 18-month old boy with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) in the brainstem and

[Meningitis due to Bacillus cereus in an infant with Reye syndrome].

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS We report the case of a 2.5-month-old infant with Bacillus cereus meningitis who was initially admitted for Reye syndrome. Gram positive bacteria was isolated in CSF and shown to be located inside the polymorphonuclears. This pathogen was further identified by sequencing of the 16S RNA.

Bacillus cereus meningitis in two neurosurgical patients: an investigation into the source of the organism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two patients developed Bacillus cereus meningitis following neurosurgery. During the subsequent investigation into the source of the organism, linen was discovered to be heavily contaminated with B. cereus. No other prolific source of the organism was found. It seems probable that lint from

Bacillus cereus bacteremia and meningitis in immunocompromised children.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two cases of Bacillus cereus meningitis in immunocompromised children at our hospital within a 2-month period prompted us to review B. cereus--related invasive disease. We identified 12 patients with B. cereus isolated in blood cultures from September 1988 through August 2000 at our institution.
