Meningitis caused byStaphylococcus aureusis an unusual illness that is often associated with bacteremia, contiguous infection and/or a post-neurosurgical state. Until recently, most cases were caused by methicillin-susceptible strains, but there are a few reports of methicillin-resistantS aureusstrains causing meningitis. A new case of meningitis caused by methicillin-resistantS aureusin a neonatal intensive care nurse who did not have bacteremia or neurosurgery is reported. The patient made a full recovery after treatment with vancomycin and rifampin.

Intensive Care Nurse

In 1996, two factors combined to shape the present work of the nurse practitioner in chronic pain. Firstly, the tide of change within the NHS carried "skill mix" to a position of prominence in many specialties and the time was right to explore the role of nurse practitioner in chronic pain management within the department of anaesthetics. Secondly, I had an enforced change of career. Whilst employed as a Sister on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, I tested positive to methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) after caring for an MRSA-infected patient. This subsequently proved difficult to treat, and my sixteen-year career as an intensive care nurse ended for what seemed like the foreseeable future. What follows is a description of a job in evolution which, as there are no footprints to follow, is necessarily quite personal.
