  • Title: Neonatal Meningitis and Subdural Empyema Caused by an Unusual Pathogen.
    Author: Keus AMJMH, Peeters DD, Bekker VV, Veldkamp KEKE, Lambregts MM, Bolt-Wieringa JJ, Steggerda SSJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2019 Dec; 38(12):e329-e331. PubMed ID: 31738340.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of neonatal meningitis with subdural empyema, caused by Ureaplasma parvum. In this case, diagnosis was made by genus-specific polymerase chain reaction, after regularly used diagnostic techniques failed. This unusual pathogen should be considered in cases that do not respond to therapy and/or where cultures for typical pathogens in neonatal sepsis and meningitis remain negative.
