Abstract
Both infections were caused by Type 1 strain, and organisms were recovered from spinal fluid and blood There was complete recovery in the 1st case. In the 2nd case, the severity of infection, old age, and frontal lobe abscesses led to the patients'' rapid death. Care should be taken to make a correct bacteriologic identification of diphtheroid-like organisms recovered from patients with signs of meningitis.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
