  • Title: [Multiple cerebral infarcts with resulting multicystic encephalomalacia in a premature infant with Enterobacter sakazakii meningitis].
    Author: Ries M, Harms D, Scharf J.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1994; 206(3):184-6. PubMed ID: 8051914.
    Abstract:
    Enterobacter sakazakii is an uncommon cause of neonatal meningitis. The prognosis of newborns with meningitis due to Enterobacter sakazakii is poor, the fatality rate is reported as high as 50%. Survivors usually have severe neurologic complications. Most computed tomography (CT) findings were low density lesions of white matter and cortex suggesting infarctions which underwent cystic degeneration. We present one premature baby with meningitis due to Enterobacter sakazakii and large bilateral regions of hypo- and hyperdensity suggesting massive hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic intracerebral infarctions leading to multiple cystic encephalomalacia.
