Abstract
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (Chryseobacterium meningosepticum) is a rare nosocomial infection that can show multiple antimicrobial resistance. It has been shown to cause epidemics in neonatal units. This case is presented to discuss this rare cause of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica growth in the blood culture of a patient followed in the neonatal intensive care unit due to asphyxia and hypothermia. This case was presented because Elizabethkingia meningoseptica was detected in the blood culture of a patient followed in the neonatal intensive care unit due to difficult delivery and asphyxia, and the patient was successfully treated with vancomycin.
