- Abstract
Gram-negative bacterial meningitis can usually be seen in neonates and elderly patients, after head trauma or interventions such as prostate biopsy and brain surgery. Typical findings of acute bacterial meningitis such as fever, headache and meningeal irritation signs may not be observed, and mortality rate is high in these patients. In this report, we present a case of Gram-negative bacterial meningitis secondary to bacteremia probably due to urinary tract infection. The patient died despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. Central nervous system infection should be kept in mind especially when elderly patients with comorbid diseases do not respond to antibiotic treatment and changes in mental status develop.
