Recurrent Escherichia coli meningitis associated with aspergillar sphenoidal sinusitis.
Recurrent meningitis due to Escherichia coli is an extremely rare infection in adult patients. Most cases have been complications of neurosurgery. We report on the case of a 43-y-old man with 4 recurrent spontaneous episodes of E. coli meningitis related to aspergillar sphenoidal sinusitis. Surgical treatment of sinusitis cured the patient.
