Abstract

Background: The identification and report of emergent and hazard bacteria is a common duty of today's health attendants and for those in ways of becoming due to the progressive number of multirresistant bacteria in hospital care.


Case report: We report a 5-year-old healthy male patient, who debuts with seizures. Once he arrives at the Emergency Department, he is diagnosed with a Status Epilepticus, requiring aggressive treatment, even reaching propofol. He develops a nosocomial pneumonia afterward owing to a Pantoea spp bacteremia. Same that grew in 5 different blood cultures. A trial of intravenous quinolones for 21 days was needed. 


Conclusion: Pantoea spp is an emergent infection linked to general anesthesia that has to be suspected in those patients with recent use of this drug and late systemic inflammatory signs.
