We report a patient with meningitis for an unusual germ, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, germ often associated with skin lesions, rarely systemic presentation, causing infection
in animal handlers or meat products, in cases where there is meningeal involvement is usually the presence of endocarditis or immunocompromised without valvular lesion. We describe the case of a female patient aged 43 who presented meningitis without associated Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis and use of intravenous illicit drugs as only risk factor.
