| Core Tip |
Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae has emerged as a cause of metastatic infections in immunocompetent hosts,and presents mainly as a monomicrobial infection. We present a rare case of metastatic infection caused by hvKP and co-infection with Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis.The patient received antibiotics which were sensitive to pathogens in time,and the infection was under control for 1 wk but his condition deteriorated rapidly because of metastaticpurulent meningitis,and died of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac arrest caused by cerebral hernia.This case highlights the risk of complications and polymicrobial co-infections in hvKP infected patient.Timely ventricle drainage is strongly recommended for polymicrobial co-infected meningitis. |
