This report describes Streptococcus suis meningitis with ventriculitis
in a 66-year-old kushiyaki chef, which presented with fever and
meningeal irritation signs. Cerebrospinal fluid testing revealed
increased cell counts and protein levels, and presence of gram-positive
cocci. Kushiyaki chefs are at high risk of this infection and
prophylaxis should be considered.08 Feb 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 10 Feb 2021Submission Checks Completed
