Meningitis and sepsis caused by Streptococcus suis in an elderly woman: A CARE-compliant case report.

Human infections with S suis are extremely rare. If clinicians encounter a patient with fever, disturbance of consciousness, and intracranial hypertension, especially those who have been exposed to raw pork, S suis infection should be considered. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing can be a useful adjunct for the rapid diagnosis of S suis infection and aid in the planning of clinical treatment. Meanwhile, public health awareness is necessary to limit the risk of S suis infection.
