Catheter Related Leuconostoc Mesenteroides Bacteremia: A Rare Case and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Herein we report the successful treatment of catheter related blood stream infections due to Leuconostoc mesenteroides with antibiotic lock therapy in addition to systemic treatment. With our case, we have shown that in the presence of catheter related blood stream infections, antibiotic lock therapy can be used as a therapeutic option to get successful results if the catheter cannot be removed or there are still positive cultures despite the systemic antibiotic therapy.
