Abstract

Pseudomonas stutzeri is a saprophytic microorganism that rarely causes severe infections. In this report, a 28 days old male patient with meningomyelocele at birth was presented. The patient was admitted to the hospital with fever, and diagnosed as meningitis on the basis of physical examination and leukocytosis (blood: 16.380/mm3, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): 130/mm3; 90% PMNL). Following diagnosis ceftriaxone therapy was started led to improvement in clinical and laboratory findings. However on the 20th day, the clinical signs and symptoms became worse, and the patient was diagnosed to develop a second meningitis attack by laboratory examination of CSF. Pstutzeri was isolated from the CSF culture, and the isolate was found to be resistant to ceftriaxone. Upon this result the therapy has changed to meropenem. On the 5th day of the therapy, the patient has slightly improved and he was discharged due to the wishes of his parents, however he died two days after discharge. This first case of Pstutzeri meningitis in neonates was presented to withdraw attention to this clinical entity.

Özet

Saprofit bir mikroorganizma olan Pseudomonas stutzeri nadiren ciddi enfeksiyonlara neden olur. Bu raporda, hastaneye ateş şikayeti ile getirilen ve doğumda meningomiyeloseli mevcut olan 28 günlük bir erkek hasta sunulmaktadır. Fizik muayene ve lökositoz (kan: 16.380/mm3, beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS): 130/mm3; %90 PMNL) varlığı ile menenjit tanısı konulan hastaya seftriakson tedavisi başlanmış, klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları olarak tedaviye yanıt alınmıştır. Ancak tedavinin 20. gününde kliniği tekrar bozulan hastanın yapılan tetkikleri sonunda, ikinci kez menenjit geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. BOS kültüründen Rstutzeri izole edilmiş ve bakterinin seftriaksona dirençli bulunması nedeniyle, tedavi meropeneme değiştirilmiştir. Meropenem tedavisinin ö.gününde hastadan kısmi yanıt alınmıştır. Klinik tabloda hafif düzelme görülen hasta, yakınlarının isteği üzerine taburcu edilmiş ve iki gün sonra kaybedildiği öğrenilmiştir. Yapılan literatür taramasında (Medline), yenidoğan döneminde Rstutzeri''nin neden olduğu menenjit olgusuna rastlamadığından, bu olgu, konuya dikkat çekilmesi amacıyla sunulmuştur.
