Abstract
|
|
|
Acinoetobactor calcoaceticus var anitratus, a non-fermentateive gram negative bacillus,
has been infrequently reported as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Bacteremic
community-acquired pneumonia caused by Acinetobacter is a fulminant disease with a
high mortality (above 40 per cent in the reported case). The onset of the illness is rapid
but nonspecific with fever, productive cough, pleuritic pain and rapid prostration. And
the patients frequently present with respiratory distress, severe hypoxemia, leukopenia
and septic shock.
We experienced a case of community-acquired Acinetobacter pneumonia who
underwent respiratory support with mechanical ventilator for about 4 weeks and
survived. We report the case with review of literature.
