Sažetak
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a Gram-negative rod which rarely causes disease in humans. Nevertheless, when it does infect humans, it can cause severe disease, such as sepsis, gangrene, meningitis, endocarditis and eye infections. Meningitis has rarely been described, and its diagnosis may be impeded by long incubation period, as well as poor growth of bacteria in culture. This paper is the first case report of C. canimorsus meningitis in Croatia, and a rare case report in an immunocompetent woman.
