Background The management of meningitis requires the prompt introduction of high-dose probabilistic anti-infectious therapy. The literature reporting on meningitis in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is scarce and no recommendation exists for this specific population. Methods We retrospectively included all adult KTRs diagnosed with meningitis (cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) cell count >10/mm3 or positive fungal antigen or direct examination) between 2007 and 2018 in 16 French hospitals. Clinical, biological, and therapeutic data, and 1-year kidney and patient survival were collected. Results Meningitis occurred in 134 KTRs (mean age 57+/11.8 years, 56% male), after a median time of 27 months (IQR 8–65); 25% of patients received an immunosuppressive treatment before kidney transplantation, induction treatment included lymphocyte-depleting antibodies in 63%, and 53% presented diabetes (34% before and 19% after the transplantation). The etiologies included Cryptococcus neoformans (30%), Herpesviridae (22%, including Varicella-Zoster Virus 15%), idiopathic forms (11%), Gram-negative bacilli (8% of which 20% produced an extended spectrum β-lactamase), %), infusion of intravenous immunoglobulins (6%), post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (5%), Aspergillus fumigatus (4%), Listeria monocytogenes (4%), Enterovirus (4%), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (3%). The most common symptoms were fever (82.5%), headaches (75%), encephalitis (55%), and convulsion (22.5%). CSF hypercellularity (found in 92% of the cases) was lymphocytic in 65% of the cases and neutrophilic in 35%. Initial anti-infectious therapy was inappropriate in 27% of the cases. One-year patient, graft, and death-censored graft survival rates were 84%, 76%, and 89%, respectively. Conclusion Meningitis after kidney transplantation encompasses a wide range of causes, with C. neoformans and VZV explaining more than 50% of the cases. Gram-negative bacilli are the most represented bacteria with a high rate of antimicrobial resistance. Treatment guidelines should be reconsidered in the specific population of KTRs as the etiology greatly differs from what is observed in the general population.
