Anaerobic meningitis after missed penetrating trauma in a 6-year old child
Anaerobe.
2010 Dec.
Abstract
Anaerobic meningitis may occur alone, but is usually encountered as a complication of a brain abscess. In either case it is rare in a normal host. We present a 6-year old boy with anaerobic meningitis after missed penetrating trauma, stressing the need for a thorough investigation after head trauma.
