E. Miftode, O. Dorneanu

Abstract: We report a patient with coagulase-negative sta phy lococcal meningitis developed after spinal anaesthesia performed for the correction of a cystocele. She has a two week course of post-operative fever without signs of meningeal irritation but after the diagnosis was established she responded well to vancomycin plus meropenem.
