Résumé
To describe the epidemiology of Klebsiella spp. meningitis in France with respect to clinical and bacteriological data. We performed a four-year multicenter, retrospective, observational study. The primary objective was to provide a clinical description of patients with Klebsiella spp. meningitis. Secondary objectives were to compare community-acquired meningitis and healthcare-associated meningitis and to analyze factors associated with mortality. We enrolled 131 patients with Klebsiella spp. meningitis. Eighty-two (62.6%) infections were reported following neurosurgery. Twenty-eight strains (21.4%) were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins (3GC). The median [IQR] cellularity was 980/mm Purulent meningitis caused by Klebsiella spp. needs to be considered in patients with community-acquired meningitis and preexisting conditions, as well as in case of meningitis following neurosurgical procedures.
