Abstract

Ewingella americana is a very rare cause of serious infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in an intensive care unit patient, who was treated successfully with ceftriaxone. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of VAP due to Ewingella americana in the English literature.

Abstract

Ewingella americana özellikle immunsuprese hastalarda ciddi enfeksiyonların çok ender bir sebebidir. Biz bu çalışmada bir yoğun bakım hastasında seftriaksonla başarı ile tedavi edilen bir ventilator ilişkili pnömoni olgusu sunduk. Bizim bilgimize göre bu vaka İngilizce literatürde Ewingella americana’nın etken olarak bildirildiği ilk ventilatör ilişkili pnömoni (VİP) olgusudur
