摘要：
We report a case of non-fatal meningitis secondary to suppurative otitis media in a previously healthy young boy. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from blood; spinal fluid was cultured aerobically only but yielded no growth. After treatment with intravenous antibiotics and surgery the patient recovered, with a mild sequela of hypoglossus paresis.
