Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an environmental toxicant and gaseous neurotransmitter. It is produced enterically by sulfur-reducing bacteria and invasive pathogens including Streptococcus anginosus group, Salmonella and Citrobacter. We describe putative focal H2S neurotoxicity following S. constellatus meningitis, treated with adjunctive sodium nitrite and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
