Abstract
ALTHOUGH numerous reviews of bacterial meningitis1 , 2 and viral meningitis3 , 4 have been published within the past decade, no case of meningitis has come to our attention in which both a bacterium and a virus have been isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid. The purpose of this report is twofold: to report such a case; and to present laboratory data indicating that such a double infection did not occur in 148 other patients with meningitis whose cerebrospinal fluid was examined for both bacteria and viruses.Case ReportA 10-month-old girl with mongolism (C.H.L.A. 205881) was admitted to the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles . . .Keywords
