Initial diagnostik og behandling af formodet akut bakteriel meningitis.
Udgiver: Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin 2018
Rapport og anbefaling vedrørende ulemper og fordele ved henholdsvis at undlade eller gennemføre lumbalpunktur for patienter i blodfortyndende behandling mistænkt for akut bakteriel meningitis.
Denne vejledning er tiltænkt diagnostik og behandling af formodet Lyme neuroborreliose hos voksne. Vejledningen er udarbejdet som et supplement til Borrelia klaringsrapport (2014).
Af Rikke Krogh-Madsen, formand for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin.
Der er lige nu massivt fokus på læger der har begået fejl. Aktuelt drejer det sig om behandling af meningokoksygdom. Bestyrelsen for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin (DSI) kender ikke til detaljerne i de konkrete sager og har ikke set sagsakterne. Dette er derfor en generel udtalelse som tager udgangspunkt i udmeldingen fra Patienterstatningen vedr. de tre meningokok-sager.

(Lancet Infect Dis. 2013 Jan;13(1):27-35) nedsat mortalitet ved IV administrering af en øget dosis Rifampicin og Moxifloxacin i blot 14 dage til ca. 60 patienter med tuberkuløs meningitis - efterfulgt af standard behandling. Der var derfor store forventninger til denne store kliniske trial, hvor effekten af øget Rifampicin dosis samt et flourquinolon (per oralt) blev undersøgt på ca. 700 Vietnamesiske patienter. Men der kunne …

Purpose of review . Recently, fungal meningitis outbreaks have occurred in association with neuraxial and epidural anesthesia in immunocompetent patients. Herein, we describe the course of those outbreaks, their diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and lessons learned. Recent findings . Two outbreaks of Fusarium solani meningitis during 2022–2023 were associated with epidural anesthesia in two distant cities in Mexico (Durango and Matamoros). The initial etiological agent identification was delayed due to i…

. Abstract. . Background. Pneumococcal meningitis, a vaccine-preventable disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is the leading bacterial meningitis in under five children. In April 2014, Uganda introduced routine immunization with 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) for infants. The target coverage for herd immunity is ≥ 90% with three doses (PCV10-dose 3). We assessed the effect of PCV10 introduct…

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae), and Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis) are leading causes of childhood bacterial meningitis and preventable by vaccines. The aim of this hospital-based sentinel surveillance is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of pneumococcal meningitis, including disease burden, and to provide baseline data on pneumococcal serotype dist…

. Abstract. . Background. The diagnosis of healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis (HCAVM) can be complex because multiple factors confound the interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests. The cell index (CI) may help in the diagnosis of HCAVM. It does not incur additional medical cost and it avoids delays from the turnaround time of CSF cultures. It is derived by calculating the ratio of CSF white blood cel…

. Abstract. . Introduction. Neurobrucellosis (NB) can be associated with meningitis and present as a headache with or without meningeal signs. Pseudotumor presentation of NB has been reported to be accompanied by lymphocytic predominant cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) pleocytosis. NB is diagnosed by means of isolation of Brucella from blood or CSF and/or the presence of anti-Brucella antibodies in the CSF. Molecular techniques have…

Adjunctive steroids ameliorate the inflammatory response due to the release of cytokines reducing inpatient mortality and neurological morbidity in community-acquired bacterial meningitis, and are advocated by guidelines in patients with suspected bacterial meningitis. As the most common causes of meningitis and encephalitis are non-bacterial, adjunctive dexamethasone is given to a substantial proportion of viral meningitis patients while awaiting confirmatory testing such a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

Elizabethkingia anophelis is a multidrug-resistant pathogen causing high mortality and morbidity in adults with comorbidities and neonates. We report a Dutch case of E. anophelis meningitis in a neonate, clonally related to samples taken from an automated infant milk dispenser located at the family’s residence. We inform about the emergence of E. anophelis and suggest molecular surveillance in hospitals and other health settings. This is the first case connecting an automated formula dispenser to an invas…
