Neonatal Meningitis Caused by Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica: A Case Report
View through CrossRef
Neonatal meningitis is a serious medical illness that is rapidly fatal if untreated. Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a rare organism causing neonatal meningitis but multidrug resistant and outcome is fatal.In this case report septic screening was strongly positive in affected neonate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed purulent meningitis caused by Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, a rare and multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacillus. Despite aggressive management, the neonate deteriorated and expired on the 14th day of her life. This report highlights the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion and obtaining prompt microbiological diagnosis in neonates with neurological symptoms suggestive of central nervous system infection.
