Abstract EN
Intracranial abscesses, postinfectious vasculitis, and hydrocephalus are rare complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.
pneumoniae) meningitis, and to our knowledge, there have been no case reports where all these 3 complications occurred in a single patient with Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis.
Here, we report a case of a 48-year-old male who developed postinfectious vasculitis, abscess, hydrocephalus, and hearing loss after S.
pneumoniae meningitis.
Clinicians ought to be aware of the possible adverse outcomes of S.
pneumoniae meningitis and the limitations of current treatment options.
