Resumen

Se reporta un caso de bacteriemia por Elizabethkingia meningoseptica en un paciente inmunocomprometido, con antecedentes de leucemia linfoblástica aguda, que ingresa por infiltración al sistema nervioso central y sospecha de proceso infeccioso. Elizabethkingia meningoseptica es una bacteria oportunista en infecciones intrahospitalarias, con notable resistencia antimicrobiana, la cual es un inusual patógeno en humanos.

Palabras clave:

Abstract

A case report of bacteraemia by Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in an immunocompromised patient, who was admitted to the hospital with an acute Linfoblastic leukemia and infection diagnosis, is presented. E. meningoseptica is an emerging bacterium in nosocomial infections with remarkable antimicrobial resistance and an unusual pathogen in humans.
