ABSTRACT
Spinal cord involvement is an uncommon complication of acute bacterial meningitis. Many causative organisms have already been published in these concomitant pathologies, such as Corynebacterium jeikeium, Escherichia More Details coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus agalactiae. In this letter, we would like to improve the description of the possible pathological mechanisms of this co-occurrence found in the literature.
Keywords: Myelitis, meningitis, spinal cord, pathophysiology
