title: [Nosocomial post-neurosurgery meningitis due to Corynebacterium jeikeium].
abstract: Among the post neurosurgery infections the meningitis due to Corynebacterium jeikeium are rare, particularly without central nervous system devices. We report a case of a 78 year-old patient with chronic myeloproliferative syndrome, who developed an acute meningeal syndrome by Corynebacterium jeikeium post hypophyseal macroadenoma resection.
