Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in a Female Neonate: A Case Report from Afghanistan
<p><em>Elizabethkingia meningoseptica</em> is a rare and Gram-negative bacterium that can cause severe complications in neonates. Here a case of meningitis in an 18-day-old female is reported from Afghanistan. CSF analysis and culture confirmed <em>E. meningoseptica</em> as the causative agent. The isolate was resistant to the most antibiotics, with susceptibility only to tigecycline. This case highlights the clinical importance of early detection and the challenge of treating infections caused by this pathogen, especially in resource limited countries like Afghanistan.</p>
