Popis: Objectives. To describe the epidemiology of Klebsiella spp. meningitis in France with respect to clinical and bacteriological data. Methods. 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. Results. 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/mm3 [116-5,550], the median protein level was 5.67 [1.62-9] g/L and the median CSF glucose level was 2.5 [0-3.4] mmol/L. The in-hospital mortality rate was 23.6%. Community-acquired meningitis isolates were more frequently susceptible to 3GC than isolates from healthcare-associated meningitis (89.2% versus 72%; p=0.04). Comorbidities reported for patients with community-acquired meningitis were mainly diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis. In multivariate analysis, focal neurological disorder at the time of diagnosis was the only factor associated with in-hospital mortality (p=0.01). Conclusions. Purulent meningitis caused by Klebsiella spp. needs to be considered in patients with community-acquired meningitis and pre-existing conditions, as well as in case of meningitis following neurosurgical procedures.
