ABSTRACT
A 82-year-old man was admitted to hospital with fever, unresponsiveness, elevated hypersensitive C-reactive protein and neutrophile granulocyte. Ceftriaxone was administrated by intravenous dripping in the emergency room, but the effect was not satisfactory. Following his admission to the ward, cefoperazone sulbactam were given. Elizabethkingia meningoseptica was identified by blood culture and further confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing. The lumbar puncture showed that cerebrospinal fluid pressure was 80 mmH2O (1 mmH2O=0.0098 kPa) and biochemical results were normal. After 11 days of cefoperazone sulbactam treatment, the patient was discharged with negative blood culture. The hypersensitive C-reactive protein and neutrophile granulocyte had also declined. The patient received levofloxacin tablets for anti-infection treatment for 14 d after discharge. No signs of infection were observed in three months' following up.
