Feculent meningitis: polymicrobial meningitis in colorectal surgery
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis.
2000 Nov.
Abstract
Polymicrobial anaerobic meningitis is a rare event secondary to a contiguous infection in the head or neck. Anaerobic meningitis due to a meningo-intestinal fistula is a rare event with only two cases reported in the literature. We describe a new case of adult polymicrobial anaerobic meningitis after colorectal surgery and radiotherapy and review the previous two cases.
