A female child, TK, was born January 12, 1965, and was initially admitted to the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, on January 13, 1972, at age seven years with a sevenday history of runny nose, earache, headache, and fever. On the day before admission, she had a grand mal seizure and lumbar puncture revealed purulent cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F.) which grew pneumococci. She was treated with antibiotics, her meningitis resolved, and she was discharged home nine days after admission.
