OBJECTIVE: The primary objective was to elucidate the epidemiologic characteristics, risk determinants, and clinical outcomes associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced meningitis.
METHODS: All cases of meningitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa that were treated at the hospital between 2012 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and detailed.
RESULTS: During a 10-year period, only 10 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. Three patients had previously undergone neurosurgical procedures and 4 patients had leukemia.
CONCLUSIONS: Although Pseudomonas aeruginosa meningitis possesses a low incidence rate, the rate of mortality is high. Patients with leukemia or those who have undergone neurosurgery are the most susceptible to diagnosis. Cases of severe neutropenia present only mild or no cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis. In patients with sensitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa meningitis, the timely use of anti-Pseudomonas carbapenems for intravenous treatment is highly effective. For drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa meningitis, intrathecal polymyxins administration can be an effective treatment option.
