Abstract
A Case of Streptococcus Suis Meningitis with Visual Impairment And Hearing Loss Diagnosed by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing
Highlights
Streptococcus suis is responsible for several kinds of zoonosis worldwide
In a patient presenting with meningitis, vision loss, and/or hearing loss, Streptococcus suis infection should be strongly suspected regardless of the patient's occupation. metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has excellent diagnostic value to determine which was the etiological agent for infectious diseases
Streptococcus suis meningitis accompanied by visual impairment and hearing loss is rare
Summary
In a patient presenting with meningitis, vision loss, and/or hearing loss, Streptococcus suis infection should be strongly suspected regardless of the patient's occupation. mNGS has excellent diagnostic value to determine which was the etiological agent for infectious diseases. In a patient presenting with meningitis, vision loss, and/or hearing loss, Streptococcus suis infection should be strongly suspected regardless of the patient's occupation. MNGS has excellent diagnostic value to determine which was the etiological agent for infectious diseases. 1. Streptococcus suis meningitis accompanied by visual impairment and hearing loss is rare. 2. Streptococcus suis was not detected in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture, but mNGS detected Streptococcus suis in the cerebrospinal fluid. 3. Patients may present with meningitis, vision loss, and/or hearing loss Streptococcus suis infection should be highly suspected regardless of the patient's occupational background
