ABSTRACT
There have been a few reports of pneumococcal meningitis complicated by spinal epidural abscess. A 58-year-old female with Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis underwent a recurrent pleocytosis without apparent clinical deterioration after appropriate antibiotic treatment. Subsequently, she developed a spinal epidural abscess. Spinal epidural abscess is a rare complication of pneumococcal meningitis, and subclinical deterioration of neutrophil-dominant pleocytosis may precede development of a spinal epidural abscess in individuals with bacterial meningitis.
