Case report: an infant with late-onset meningitis caused by Escherichia coli
Abstract: Background: Meningitis is highly prevalent in infant because their immune system is immature and they have less resistance to diseases. Among bacterial agents, Escherichia coli is recognized as one of the most important causes of meningitis in infants. Case presentation: Herein, we report a case of late-onset meningitis, caused by E. coli (Patient:17-day-old female infant). The patient's body temperature was 39°C, and the initial diagnosis was sepsis. At the doctor's request, the patient underwent the basic tests and was hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). In this case, blood culture and CSF culture were negative and positive, respectively. Echogenic particles were observed inside the bladder, indicating possible cystitis. The results of the antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that the meningitis-causing strain of E. coli was susceptible only to amikacin. Conclusion: Conducting LP and CSF culture seems to be the most important strategy for diagnosing...
Abstract: Einführung: Hirnhautentzündungen treten besonders häufig bei Kleinkindern auf, da ihr Immunsystem noch nicht ausgereift ist und sie weniger widerstandsfähig gegen Krankheiten sind. Unter den bakteriellen Erregern gilt Escherichia coli als eine der wichtigsten Ursachen für Meningitiden bei Säuglingen. Fallbeschreibung: Wir berichten über einen 17 Tage alten Säugling mit late-onset Meningitis, die durch E. coli verursacht wurde. Die Körpertemperatur betrug 39°C; die erste Diagnose lautete Sepsis. Auf Ersuchen des Arztes wurde die Patientin zu den grundlegenden Untersuchungen und zur stationären Aufnahme in die Neugeborenen-Intensivstation gebracht. Die Blut- und die Liquorkultur waren negativ bzw. positiv. In der Blase wurden echogene Partikel beobachtet, die auf eine Zystitis hinweisen können. Die Ergebnisse des Antibiogramms zeigten, dass der E. coli -Stamm nur gegen Amikacin empfindlich ist.Schlussfolgerung: Die Durchführung einer Liquorkultur scheinen die wichtigsten Strate...
