Stomatococcus mucilaginosus meningitis in a patient with multiple myeloma following autologous stem cell transplantation

Abstract

Bacterial meningitis is an unusual complication of bone marrow transplantation. We report a case of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus meningitis in a patient with multiple myeloma shortly after an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The infection resolved with a combination of intravenous penicillin G and chloramphenicol, and intrathecal vancomycin.
