title: [Aneurysms of the cerebral vessels and pneumococcal infection].
abstract: Two cases of cerebral aneurysm rupture with repeat subarachnoidal haemorrhage are reported in patients with pneumococcal infection confirmed bacteriologically. It is concluded that in pathogenesis of the aneurysmal rupture in pneumococcal infection a significant role is played not only by pneumococcal tropism to the meninges, but also by affection of the endothelium and cerebral vascular membranes, hemostasis defects, arterial hypertension as manifestations of a general adaptation syndrome.
