Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although improvements in antimicrobial therapy during the last few decades have decreased mortality in childhood bacterial meningitis, some patients are left with neurologic sequelae. Cerebrovascular complications are often associated with unfavorable clinical outcome of the disease. We report a 36-day-old infant with severe, widespread cerebrovascular complications due to group B streptococcal meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) contributed to a non-invasive demonstration of meningeal inflammatory changes and vascular lesions with the meningitis in this patient. |
