Abstract

ABSTRACT We report a case of group C streptococcal meningitis in a woman with a history of close animal contact as well as head trauma as a result of a kick by a horse. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures grew Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus , as did a throat culture taken from the colt that had kicked her 2 weeks prior to admission.
