It may be recalled that this type of meningitis may be the result of contamination at the time of lumbar puncture, spinal anesthesia, trauma or operative pro¬ cedures involving the brain and spinal cord. In other instances it originates from foci of infection such as otitis media. In still other cases it represents one of the complications of bacteremia or sepsis. In the past, when recovery has taken place, usually after a fairly long period of weeks and months, it was attributed to drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid, administration of sulfonamide drugs and, more recently, to therapy with strepto3nycin.3b In the case reported here aureo3nycin played a significant role in combating the infection.
