During a 3-year period, three cases of bacterial meningitis developing after
spinal or epidural anesthesia were observed at one hospital in Germany. The
causative organisms were Streptococcus salivarius (2 cases) and Staphylococcus
aureus (1 case). In the first two cases, contamination of the needle by
oropharyngeal flora of the anesthesiological team was likely but remained
unproven. In the third case, a nasal swab obtained from the operating
anesthesiologist yielded a Staphylococcus aureus strain whose genotypic profile
was identical to that of the patient's strain. Infection control procedures for
spinal anesthesia are discussed.
