A Case Report of Salmonella enterica Meningitis in an Infant: A Rare Entity not to Forget
CONCLUSION: Invasive Salmonella diseases, such as meningitis, are very uncommon in industrial countries nowadays, and the optimal management is yet not well established. Late onset of com-plications from Salmonella meningitis warrants more thorough neurodevelopmental follow-ups.PMID:38676483 | DOI:10.2174/0118715265286206240402050756 (Source: Infectious Disorders Drug Targets)

A Review of the Association between Infections, Seizures, and Drugs
CONCLUSION: Due to changes in drug metabolism, co-administration of antiseizure drugs and antibiotics may lead to an enhanced risk of seizures. In patients with neurocysticercosis, cerebral malaria, viral encephalitis, bacterial meningitis, tuberculosis, and human immunodeficiency virus, the evidence-based study recommended different mechanisms mediating epileptogenic properties of toxins and drugs.PMID:38676494 | DOI:10.2174/0118715249288932240416071636 (Source: Herpes)

PCR-positive meningococcal CSF infection without pleocytosis but high IL-6 and IL-8
ConclusionsWe present a rare case of meningococcal infection of the CSF in a SLE patient without further CSF abnormalities. We discuss the involvement of early antibiotic treatment and the role of the patient ’s immune status in the normal CSF findings of this case. Moreover, this case demonstrates the importance of early antibiotic therapy in bacterial meningitis for the clinical outcome. (Source: Infection)

An 11-month-old boy with tuberculous meningitis presenting as progressive limb weakness, fever, developmental retardation, and loss of consciousness: a case report
ConclusionOver half of treated TB meningitis patients die or suffer severe neurological sequelae, mainly due to late diagnosis. Hence, early diagnosis and prompt initiation of TB treatment offer the best chance of a good neurological outcome. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Serogroup B Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Older Adults Identified by Genomic Surveillance, England, 2022-2023
We report a cluster of serogroup B invasive meningococcal disease identified via genomic surveillance in older adults in England and describe the public health responses. Genomic surveillance is critical for supporting public health investigations and detecting the growing threat of serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis infections in older adults.PMID:38666632 | DOI:10.3201/eid3005.231714 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Case Series of Jamestown Canyon Virus Infections with Neurologic Outcomes, Canada, 2011-2016
We describe a case series of confirmed JCV-mediated neuroinvasive disease among persons from the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, Canada, during 2011-2016. We highlight the case definitions, epidemiology, unique features and clinical manifestations, disease seasonality, and outcomes for those cases. Two of the patients (from Quebec and Nova Scotia) might have acquired JCV infections during travel to the northeastern region of the United States. This case series collectively demonstrates JCV's wide distribution and indicates the need for increased awareness of JCV as the underlying cause of m...
