[Bacterial meningitis and intrathecal treatment of chronic pain].
A case is reported of bacterial meningitis related to an intradural implant used in the treatment of pain into which morphine was administered daily. The infection began on the third day after implantation of the system. Because of its efficiency in controlling pain, it was not removed; the infection was successfully treated with local and general antibiotic treatments only. The system was used 121 days.
