13. Invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease in the vaccine era in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
BACKGROUND Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) serotype b (Hib) conjugate vaccine was incorporated into the infant immunisation schedule in Brazil in 1999, where Hib was one of the major etiologic sources of community-acquired bacterial meningitis. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to describe the molecular epidemiology of invasive Hi disease in Rio de Jane

14. Erythema dyschromicum perstans in a child following an enteroviral meningitis
ABSTRACT A healthy 6-year-old boy presented with an erythematous macular exanthema, meningeal signs and fever, initially diagnosed with probable bacterial meningitis and treated with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Enteroviral meningitis was confirmed, but the skin lesions continued to evolve and the patient was ultimately diagnosed with erythema dys

15. Comparison of PCR-based methods for the simultaneous detection of Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae in clinical samples
Abstract Background Several in-house PCR-based assays have been described for the detection of bacterial meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae from clinical samples. PCR-based methods targeting different bacterial genes are frequently used by different laboratories worldwide, but no standard method

16. Epidemiology of infectious meningitis in the State of Amazonas, Brazil
INTRODUCTION: In the State of Amazonas, particularly in the capital Manaus, meningitis has affected populations of different cultures and social strata over the years. Bacterial meningitis is caused by several different species and represents a major issue of public health importance. The present study reports the meningitis case numbers with different etio

17. Ceftaroline activity tested against contemporary Latin American bacterial pathogens (2011)
A total of 2484 target bacterial pathogens were collected (one per patient episode) from patients in 16 Latin American medical centers located in seven nations during 2011. Isolate identity was confirmed at a coordinating laboratory and susceptibility testing was performed for ceftaroline and comparator agents according to reference broth microdilution metho

18. Prognostic indicators in bacterial meningitis: a case-control study
This was a case-control study to identify prognostic indicators of bacterial meningitis in a reference hospital in Pernambuco/Brazil. The data were collected from charts of 294 patients with bacterial meningitis between January 2000 and December 2004. Variables were grouped in biological, clinical, laboratory and etiologic agent/treatment. Variables selected

19. Prediction of bacterial meningitis based on cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis in children
Children with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis are frequently treated with parenteral antibiotics, but only a few have bacterial meningitis. Although some clinical prediction rules, such as bacterial meningitis score, are of well-known value, the cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells count can be the initial available information. Our aim was to establish a c

20. Cochlear implants and bacterial meningitis: a speech recognition study in paired samples
INTRODUCTION: Cochlear implants may guarantee sound perception and the ability to detect speech at a close-to-normal hearing intensity; however, differences have been observed among implantees in terms of performance on discrimination tests and speech recognition. OBJECTIVE: To identify whether patients with post-meningitis deafness perform similarly to pati

21. Pasteurella multocida bacterial meningitis caused by contact with pigs
Pasteurella multocida belongs to the normal flora of the respiratory and digestive tract of many animals. Animal exposure is a considerable risk factor for Pasteurella infection. P. multocida is the most common cause of local infection after an animal bite but is an unusual cause of meningitis. We present a case of bacterial meningitis by P. multocida in a 3

22. Utilização de sílica mesoporosa como adjuvante em vacinas de vesícula de membrana externa de Neisseria meningitidis / Application of mesoporous silica as a vaccine adjuvant in the outer membrane vesicles vaccination of Neisseria meningitidis
Outer membrane vesicles or OMV are nanoparticles released into the culture medium during bacterial growth resulting from evaginations of the outer membrane. The OMV consists of antigens present in the bacterial outer membrane, like porins and lipooligosaccharides - LOS, these structures provide an immuno-stimulatory effect, and potential target for vaccine p

23. ERIC-PCR genotypic characterization of Haemophilus parasuis isolated from Brazilian swine
Haemophilus parasuis infection, known as Glässer's disease, is characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, arthritis and meningitis in piglets. Although traditional diagnosis is based on herd history, clinical signs, bacterial isolation and serotyping, the molecular-based methods are alternatives for species-specific tests and epidemiologic study. The aim of

24. IL-6 and IL-8 in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with aseptic meningitis and bacterial meningitis: their potential role as a marker for differential diagnosis
Cytokines are molecules that act as mediators of immune response; cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) IL-6 is found in all meningeal inflammatory diseases, but IL-8 is associated with acute bacterial meningitis (ABM). A case control study was done to ascertain the discriminatory power of these cytokines in differentiating ABM from aseptic meningitis (AM); IL-6 and I
