Staphylococcus aureus meningitis in children: a review of 30 community-acquired cases.
In spite of the steady increase in the incidence of Staphylococcus aureus infections, it remains a relatively uncommon cause of meningitis. To our knowledge, no series of community-acquired S. aureus meningitis (CASAM) restricted to children has been published. So far in this retrospective study we report our experience with CASAM in children, hospitalized from 1983 to 1998 at Nossa Senhora da Glória Children's Hospital (HINSG). During the sixteen-year study period, 2,319 new cases of acute pyogenic meningitis were diagnosed at HINSG. Community-acquired S. aureus was identified as the causative agent in 30 patients (1.3 percent). The predominantly spinal localization of the agent is stressed. In contrast with publications which analyze adults, it has a better prognosis.

[Oral health: a challenge for the health care team].
The objective of this study is to reveal the knowledge of nursing and medicine students from a university in Rio Grande do Sul regarding the importance of promoting dental health. A questionnaire with three semi-structured questions was answered by 26 students from the nursing school, and by 32 students from the medical school. Through the method of triangulation it was concluded that these students had deficient knowledge regarding dental health. Since a small number of the population in Brazil has access to dental clinics, we consider important that nursing and medicine professionals know how to promote dental care among children.
