Abstract
Some cases of human cerebro-spinal meningitis associated with swine streptococcal infections were reported. Five piggery workers were involved. A 23 year old nursing mother and four male attendants suffered persistent headaches followed by stiffneck and what a physician diagnosed as meningitis and was treated in a hospital. Typical clinical signs of cold, mucopurulent catarrh with diarrhea and other symptoms were seen. Precautionary measures to be taken when swine encephalitis is suspected were also discussed.
