AIM: Our aim was to study the susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to antibiotics in patients with pneumococcal meningitis and to search for the prognosis factors in those patients.
METHODS: We have studied retrospectively 31 cases of pneumococcal meningitis. Comparaisons were performed with univariate analysis.
RESULTS: The mean age was 36.7 +/- 20.5 years (ranged: 9 and 78 years). The sex ratio was 3,4. The susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin G was affected in 10 cases (33% of isolated pneumococcus. The MIC to penicillin G was > or =2 in only one case. The hospital mortality was 26% (8/31). With univariate analysis, factors associated with death were: age > or =55 years (Ss p= 0,006, OR: 17.2 IC95%: 2.3-134), albuminorachie > or = 7 g/l (p = 0.002, OR: 22; IC95%: 1.9-2.51), shock (p = 0.031, OR: 6.7; IC95%: 1.05-42) and Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) < or =8 (p = 0.001, OR: 20; IC95%: 2.68-149).
CONCLUSION: No susceptibility to penicillin G is not associated with a worse outcome in patients with pneumococcal meningitis. An age > or =55 years, albuminorachie > or =7 g/l shock and Glasgow Coma Score < or =8 at admission were determinant of the prognosis in our study.
