Nosocomial Elizabethkingia meningoseptica meningitis and bacteremia in a post transsphenoidal hypophysectomy complicated with sagittal sinus thrombosis: A case report

BACKGROUND: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica meningitis is rare and challenging to manage infection. As this infection is always associated with superimposed multidrug-resistant organisms, a combination and prolonged antibiotic treatment are necessary to ensure the complete eradication of infections....

description BACKGROUND: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica meningitis is rare and challenging to manage infection. As this infection is always associated with superimposed multidrug-resistant organisms, a combination and prolonged antibiotic treatment are necessary to ensure the complete eradication of infections. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report successful antibiotic therapies in a patient with E. meningoseptica bacteremia and meningitis complicated with superimposed extreme-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in a patient post transsphenoidal hypophysectomy complicated with central venous thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Antibiotic combination therapy with prolonged duration in those with E. meningoseptica with concomitant multi-resistant organisms is needed. Diagnosing associated prothrombotic risk with the infection and prompt treatment would also be essential.
