Here, we reported a case of a 58-year-old female with MRSA bacteremia and meningitis as confirmed by positive blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid analysis; successfully managed with vancomycin and rifampin. This paper emphasizes the need for early recognition and interventions as soon as meningitis is suspected, while identifying a case where synergistic effects of antibiotics are utilized to improve the penetration of antibiotic therapy for adequate treatment. Fifteen days into her illness, the patient had the first negative blood culture, remained afebrile and improved clinically. Approximately 50% to 90% of patients with bacterial meningitis have positive blood cultures [5] .
