Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica can frequently colonizes the respiratory tract, but its pathogenetic role and its clinical significance are frequently questioned. However, recent data reported E. meningoseptica outbreaks in particular settings, as hospitalized patients. CASE REPORT: We report here the first case of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica infection in Italy in a patient with necrotic-hemorrhagic pancreatitis. E. meningoseptica was isolated from respiratory tract and treated with combination antibiotic therapy.
CONCLUSION: We discuss here the role of isolation of E. meningoseptica in hospitalized patients as a sign of patient's frailty.
