Abstract EN
On presentation of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, unusual manifestations may represent the main clinical features of the disease.
Isolated bacterial meningitis as the first manifestation of endocarditis is considered to be an unusual neurological complication.
Here, we describe a case S.
aureus endocarditis presenting as isolated meningitis and mimicking meningococcal septicaemia.
Because of the high mortality rate of the disease, the prompt recognition of this infectious syndrome is of crucial importance for the correct management of patients.
