RESUMEN
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica es un bacilo gram negativo no fermentador, no móvil, y oxidasa positivo, ampliamente distribuido en la naturaleza pero poco frecuente en humanos, en quienes se considera un patógeno oportunista, actualmente denominado emergente. En el ambiente hospitalario se ha encontrado en superficies húmedas y en equipos médicos, soluciones que habitualmente se utilizan de forma intravenosa, y en medicamentos de reconstitución. Puede causar infección en personas inmunocomprometidas o con enfermedades debilitantes concomitantes. Además, posee enzimas de resistencia frente a los antibióticos prescritos usualmente contra las bacterias gram negativas. Se presenta un caso de bacteriemia por E. meningoseptica en un paciente con antecedente de enfermedad renal crónica, quien recibía tratamiento hemodíalítico 3 veces por semana, desde hace 2 años, al ingreso se documentó infección del sitio de inserción del catéter venoso central, y posteriormente se aisló en los hemocultivos periféricos el crecimiento de la bacteria E. meningoseptica, el paciente cumplió tratamiento con trimetroprim-sulfametoxazol por 14 días con adecuada evolución clínica, sin complicaciones...(AU)
ABSTRACT
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a non fermenter bacilli gram negative, non-mobile, and positive oxidase, widely distributed in nature but rare in humans, in whom it is considered an opportunistic pathogen, now called emerging. In the hospital environment it was found on wet surfaces and medical equipment, solutions usually used intravenously, and drug reconstitution. It can cause infection in immunocompromised or with concomitant debilitating diseases people. It also has resistance to enzymes usually prescribed antibiotics against gram negative bacteria. A case of bacteremia is presented by E. meningoseptica in a patient with a history of chronic kidney disease, who received hemodialysis 3 times a week, for 2 years, entry site infection insertion of central venous catheter was documented and later was isolated from peripheral blood cultures the growth of bacteria E. meningoseptica, the patient completed treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 14 days with adequate clinical course without complications...(AU)
