Description

This study was done to assess the incidence and significance of P. cepacia in meningitis and to investigate the clinical backgrounds and pictures of the patients infected.<BR>In the one year period, 1978, there had been an increase in the incidence of P. cepacia isolated from the cerebro-spinal fluid of the hospitalized patients.<BR>From 43 patients microorganisms were isolated in this period. Ten of 43 patients encountered P. cepacia. The 8 patients were investigated in detail. All patients suffered from the disorders of C.N.S. and were performed an extra-ventricular drainage before isolation of P. cepacia. In addition, they had recieved some anti-microbial drugs for a long time prior to isolation of this organism.<BR>This study showed that P. cepacia is an important micro-organism in hospital infection.
