TI  - [A patient with advanced breast cancer who developed bacterial meningitis after 
      chemotherapy].
PG  - 769-71
AB  - A 76-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a right breast tumor 
      and a skin ulcer. The patient was diagnosed as having advanced breast cancer 
      T4bN2M1(lung), Stage IV. A regimen of 5-fluorouracil(500mg/m2)with 
      epirubicin(100mg/m / 2)and cyclophosphamide(500mg/m2)(FEC100)was administered. 
      However, the patient was hospitalized 12 days later because of febrile 
      neutropenia. The patient experienced a stiff neck the next day, and bacterial 
      meningitis was diagnosed on the basis of cerebrospinal fluid examination. 
      Antibacterial agents were administered according to the clinical practice 
      guidelines of bacterial meningitis. The patient recovered and was discharged from 
      our hospital 24 days after admission. Bacterial meningitis after chemotherapy is 
      rare, but this could be progress to a serious condition. Early diagnosis and 
      treatment are paramount in such cases.
