    Author: Brouwer MC, Keizerweerd GD, De Gans J, Spanjaard L, Van De Beek D.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2009; 41(5):375-7. PubMed ID: 19177261.
    Abstract:
    We present 9 patients with community acquired Staphylococcus aureus meningitis. Foci of infection outside the central nervous system were present in 8 (89%) patients, mostly endocarditis and pneumonia. Cardiorespiratory complications occurred frequently and 6 patients died (67%). Identification and treatment of the primary focus of infection should be a priority in these patients.
