Meningitis secondary to disseminated gonococcal infection

We report one of the unusual presentations of disseminated gonococcal infection. This case report describes a 24-year-old woman who presented with disseminated gonococcal infection manifesting as meningitis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and throat swab PCR were positive for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Blood and CSF cultures were negative for bacterial growth. The patient was treated with a total of 14 days of intravenous ceftriaxone. She was discharged with no neurological sequelae.

Uncommon Complication

Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is an uncommon complication ofNeisseria gonorrhoeaeinfection, its manifestation varies from a classic arthritis-dermatitis syndrome to uncommon pyogenic infections of several organs. Herein, we reported atypical presentation of DGI with subcutaneous abscess of right knee, pyomyositis of right lower extremity, and subsequently complicated byEscherichia colipyomyositis. This infection responded to appropriate antimicrobial therapy and prompt surgical management with good clinical outcome.

Hypernatremic Dehydration

AbstractWe describe the case of a term newborn who presented with hypernatremic dehydration on day 19 of life. The baby was otherwise hemodynamically stable with no evidence of focal or asymmetric neurological signs. The laboratory tests at the time of admission were negative except for hypernatremia and the extremely elevated levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein (717 mg/dL) and glucose levels (97 mg/dL). The hypernatremic dehydration was corrected as per the unit protocol over 48 hours. Repeat CSF analysis done after 5 days showed normalization of the protein and glucose levels. Serial follow-up and neuroimaging showed no evidence of neurological sequelae. Unique feature of our case is this is the first case reporting such an extreme elevation of CSF protein and glucose levels that have had no bearing on neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 month and 3 months of follow-up.
