Open Access Abstract Introduction Bacterial meningitis BM is a severe complication in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage SAH . Clinical signs of meningitis are often masked by SAH-related symptoms and routine cerebrospinal fluid CSF analysis fails to indicate BM. Microdialysis MD is a technique for monitoring cerebral metabolism in patients with SAH. A cohort study was performed to investigate the value of MD for the diagnosis of BM. Methods Retrospectively 167 patients with SAH in an ongoing investigation on cerebral metabolism monitored by MD were analysed for the presence of BM and related MD changes. Diagnosis of BM was based on microbiological CSF culture or clinical symptoms responding to antibiotic treatment combined with an increased CSF cell count and or fever. Levels of MD parameters before and after diagnosis of BM were .
