Mukmin","W. Mohd Nazaruddin W. Hassan"],"abstract":"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.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/7f54ccdc-e331-4855-b1c8-3d16b4d1e832/featured/hero-1781561062566.png","publishDate":"2022-08-19T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_526_2022","categories":["Infection","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/7f54ccdc-e331-4855-b1c8-3d16b4d1e832/pdf"}
