Neisseria meningitidis pyelonephritis: A rare and unusual presentation of an established pathogen
Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative organism primarily associated with invasive meningococcal disease. This case report presents a rare occurrence of Neisseria meningitidis pyelonephritis in a 24-year-old male with congenital urological abnormalities. We describe the diagnostic challenges and management of this unique case. Ultimately, the patient completed IV then oral antibiotics and recovered with no complications. This case emphasizes the importance of considering atypical pathogens in urinary tract infections and contributes valuable insights to diagnostic microbiology and clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Highly respected for its ability to keep pace with advances in this fast moving field, Clinical Microbiology Newsletter has quickly become a “benchmark” for anyone in the lab. Twice a month the newsletter reports on changes that affect your work, ranging from articles on new diagnostic techniques, to surveys of how readers handle blood cultures, to editorials questioning common procedures and suggesting new ones.
