Branhamella catarrhalis meningitis following otolaryngologic surgery
S H Naqvi et al. APMIS Suppl. 1988.
Abstract
A case of pyogenic meningitis caused by Branhamella catarrhalis which occurred after pharyngoplasty, adenoidectomy and tympanostomy tube placement is reported. This organism is morphologically similar to Neisseria meningitidis but often produces beta lactamase. Therefore therapy should be directed by proper microbiologic identification and sensitivity results.
