Abstract
Aim: To present a case of Pseudomonas meningitis with an atypical presentation.
Case Presentation: A 48 year old male with history of RTA related brain injury and shunt placement, presented with complaints of diarrhoea. On further investigations he was found to have Gram negative meningitis on CSF studies. This case highlights patient’s course in hospital.
Conclusion: Patients with a prior history of neurosurgical intervention are at higher risk of meningitis due to Gram negative organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and they may present with atypical symptoms.
