Abstract EN
We report a case of Eikenella corrodens sepsis associated with CSF pleocytosis in a very low birth weight neonate.
A 1000-gram male neonate was born at 27-week gestation due to preterm labor.
The patient presented with signs and symptoms of sepsis and was treated for suspected meningitis with intravenous ampicillin and gentamicin for 7 days, with cefotaxime added for three weeks.
He had a normal brain MRI at discharge and normal development at 6 months of life.
To our knowledge, this is the first case of E.
corrodens sepsis and associated meningitis in a very low birth weight neonate.
