Abstract
We present a case of a 6-month-old boy admitted with hydranencephaly, cranial hypertension, prolonged fever and malnutrition. Cerebrospinal fluid culture identified Burkholderia cepacia meningitis, which was controlled with ceftazidime plus amikacin after a protracted course. This is the only case of B. cepacia meningitis reported in the medical literature the last 20 years. Previous cases were successfully treated with co-trimoxazole or the third generation cephalosporins.
