A Case of Pneumonia with Meningitis
A 78-year-old woman developed rapid onset of fever and a shaking chill. She had difficulty breathing and produced thick (mucopurulent), rust-colored sputum. Shortly thereafter, she developed a headache, lethargy, and a stiff neck and lapsed into a coma. She was admitted to the hospital where blood, sputum, and cerebrospinal fluid specimens were obtained for culture. The laboratory shortly reported that Gram-stained smears of the sputum and cerebrospinal fluid revealed gram-positive, lancet-shaped diplococci. The patient was treated with intravenous antimicrobial agents, woke up from the coma, and recovered without incident.
What was the likely identification of the patient's isolate?
