Conclusion
We reported a rare case of pyogenic ventriculitis associated withS. suis infection. The patient’s occupation as a kushiyaki chef,
may be linked to a high infection risk because it involves handling
pork. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken to avoid infection.
Additionally, MRI should be performed for patients with S. suisventriculitis to ensure suitable and effective treatment. Since the
appropriate treatment duration has not yet been determined, further
reports of S. suis ventriculitis are needed.
