Description
Summary:A 73‐year‐old male who was a compromised host developed bacteremia, pyelonephritis, and bacterial meningitis due to Arcobacter butzleri . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of meningitis caused by A. butzleri . The outcome of treatment with meropenem was excellent. We speculate that the ingestion of contaminated chicken meat caused bacteremia via the digestive tract, leading to pyelonephritis and meningitis. A. butzleri is a possible cause of bacterial meningitis even in the absence of severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
