  • Title: Enterococcal meningitis: combined vancomycin and rifampin therapy.
    Author: Ryan JL, Pachner A, Andriole VT, Root RK.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1980 Mar; 68(3):449-51. PubMed ID: 6892669.
    Abstract:
    Intrathecal vancomycin and oral rifampin have been used together to successfully treat a patient with enterococcal meningitis who was allergic to penicillin and who had failed a course of treatment with chloramphenicol. This therapy was tolerated very well and represents an alternate mode of therapy which should be considered in penicillin allergic patients with enterococcal meningitis.
