GALVEZ-CUITIVA, EA.; PERALTA-PALMEZANO, JJ. y LONNGI-ROJAS, G.. Early Sepsis in a Preterm Newborn by Pantoea agglomerans: Case Report and Literature Review. Acta pediatr. Méx [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.1, pp.52-59. ISSN 2395-8235. https://doi.org/10.18233/apm1no1pp52-591540.
INTRODUCTION:
Pantoea agglomerans is a gram-negative bacillus member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, of ubiquitous distribution and in certain circumstances can have a pathogenic behavior in humans, with few cases of neonatal infection not associated with health care described in the literature, none of them reported in Colombia.
CASE PRESENTATION:
In the following report, we present the case of a preterm, female newborn who, from the first day presents an inadequate neonatal adaptation, with respiratory distress, sepsis and a rapid clinical deterioration, which required management and support in the neonatal intensive care unit. It was isolated by blood cultures P. agglomerans, susceptible to the antibiotic management established, with a suitable posterior response, as well as a favorable clinical evolution.
CONCLUSION:
Neonatal sepsis due to P. agglomerans is uncommon, and its outcome will depend on many factors, as well as early detection, timely assistance and appropriate management.
