  • Title: Citrobacter diversus brain abscess and meningitis in neonates.
    Author: Graham DR, Band JD.
    Journal: JAMA; 1981 May 15; 245(19):1923-5. PubMed ID: 7230384.
    Abstract:
    Brain abscess is an infrequent complication of meningitis, including cases caused by Gram-negative enteric bacteria in neonates. Because brain abscesses recently developed in four of five neonates with Citrobacter diversus meningitis at one institution, we reviewed cases of C diversus meningitis reported in the literature and those enrolled in the Neonatal Meningitis Cooperative Study Groups and reported to the Centers for Disease Control. Seventy-four cases in neonates were identified, and a brain abscess had developed in 41 (77%) of 53 patients for whom the information was available. This high frequency indicates the need for rapid diagnosis of this complication of C diversus meningitis.
