Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: Acinetobacterbaumannii is a frequent agent of nosocomial infections, which often proves to be multiresistant to the tested antibiotics, but is rarely involved in nosocomial meningitis. We report two cases of nosocomial meningitis with Acinetobacterbaumaniimultiresistant: in the first case it was a complication of a cranial trauma whereas in the second case, it was postoperative nosocomial meningitis in neurosurgery. The diagnosis was retained on a cluster of clinical, biochemical and bacteriological arguments. The outcome was unfavorable with patient deaths. Keywords:Acinetobacterbaumannii, multiresistant, nosocomial meningitis, colistin,tigecycline.
