Severe Actinobacillus ureae meningitis in an immunocompromised patient: report of one case and review of the literature

Nathalie de Castro et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2007.

Abstract

27 cases of Actinobacillus ureae infections including 14 cases of meningitis have been reported. We describe 1 case of Actinobacillus ureae meningitis in a 75-y-old patient. Risk factors, clinical outcome and treatment of Actinobacillus ureae infections are discussed. Actinobacillus ureae may behave as an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infections in immunocompromised patients.
