Pneumonia caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia with a mucoid phenotype.

چکیده
We describe the first known case of pneumonia caused by a mucoid Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Xanthomonas maltophilia) strain in a patient with bronchiectasis. The patient was admitted because of mild hemoptysis and productive cough with infiltrative shadow in the right lower lung field on chest X ray. The clinical symptoms were mild, and treatment with minocycline was effective.

BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is the third most frequent non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infections, and usually causes severe infections such as primary bacteremia and pneumonia. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to compare the demographic and clinical characteristics, microbiological findings and final outcomes of the patients with primary bacteremia and noso...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a multiple-antibiotic-resistant opportunistic pathogen that is being isolated with increasing frequency from patients with health-care-associated infections and especially from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). While clinicians feel compelled to treat infections involving this organism, its potential for virulence is not well established. We evaluated the immun...
متن کاملRisk factors for late-onset nosocomial pneumonia caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in critically ill trauma patients.
Patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia often receive inadequate empiric antibiotic therapy, potentially increasing mortality. Knowledge of the risk factors associated with S. maltophilia pneumonia may better guide the selection of empiric antibiotic therapy. Potential risk factors for S. maltophilia pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed for critically ill tr...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Findings of Community-Acquired Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Pneumonia in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is a rare, but globally emerging gram-negative multiple-drug-resistant organism usually found in a nosocomial setting in immunocompromised patients. To our best knowledge, computed tomography (CT) features of community-acquired S. maltophilia pneumonia have not been previously reported in an immunocompetent patient. Herein, we presented the CT findi...
