Myasthenic Crisis Precipitated by Raoultella Planticola in an Immunocompromised Host.

We present a case of a 39-year-old male patient who was previously diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. He presented in a myasthenic crisis secondary to a lower respiratory tract infection, with the implicated organism being Raoultella planticola. He was referred to the intensive care unit (ICU) and required ventilatory support due to respiratory insufficiency. Early broad-spectrum antibiotics for a suspected bacterial infection were provided in combination with management specific to the myasthenic crisis. The patient made a full recovery and has displayed a good clinical response. This case report explores his presentation and aims to provide further literature on the incidence and description of R. planticola.
