Presentation
We present a case of bacteremia due to C. braakii in a 38-year-old woman with cervical cancer. She was admitted to our hospital with complaints of a fever, chills, and nausea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Fulminant Sepsis
Pulmonary fat embolism is proposed as a possible cause of the sudden deaths as well as fulminant sepsis. © 2018 The Korean Academy of Medical Sciences. KEYWORDS: Citrobacter freundii; Fat Embolism; Intravenous Fat Emulsions; Neonate; Sudden Death [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Intermittent Fever
Case presentation A 58-year-old previously healthy male farmer by occupation, who was a chronic alcoholic, came with complaints of low-grade intermittent fever since 1 week, right upper quadrant pain in abdomen since 5 days, right-sided chest pain since [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Regurgitation
Cardiac auscultation found an unknown aortic regurgitation murmur. There were no signs of severe sepsis or congestive heart failure. [jcm.asm.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Ankle Arthritis
He was admitted to the hospital due to intense diffuse myalgia, left ankle arthritis, and abdominal pain. He did not have a history of cardiac or general disease and reported no intravenous drug abuse. [jcm.asm.org]
Neurologic
- Communicating Hydrocephalus
We studied a three-month-old infant with Citrobacter meningitis, who developed acute communicating hydrocephalus and multiple periventricular brain abscesses while on treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
- Vaginal Discharge
The gastrointestinal tract was considered the portal of entry, because the patient had a rectal fistula and other cultures such as urine and vaginal discharge incubated species other than C. braakii. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
SG was involved in the complete workup of the case. AKG managed the patient through the period. DR was involved in the diagnosis of the patient. Competing interests: None. Patient consent: Obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
X-Ray
- Atelectasis
So contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) of the abdomen was done, which showed a large subcapsular liver abscess in segments 7 and 8 measuring 13.1×12.7×7.3 cm with contained air foci with mild right-sided pleural effusion and basal atelectasis ( figures 2–4 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
- Lymphopenia
No immunosuppressive factors, such as diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus, lymphopenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, or hypocomplementemia, were reported. Also, the patient was not an intravenous drug user. [jcm.asm.org]
Biopsy
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The product exhibited significant acid/alkali and UV resistance as well as significant inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation at low concentrations of 0.1-1 μM. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
In details, the treatment groups in sealed pack were handed over to Mr. Trivedi for biofield treatment under laboratory conditions. Mr. [trivediscience.com]
The patient died, despite intensive antibiotic treatment directed towards the causative organism, C. diversus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the literature, the neurosurgical approach is associated with a better prognosis, especially when obstruction is present. 5 Cerebritis and infarctation have no surgical indication. 5 In this case, successful surgery was not feasible due to the high [casereports.bmj.com]
Etiology
[…] elderly, debilitated, and immunocompromised. 1-5 Current interest in pediatric Citrobacter infections has stemmed from the isolation of C diversus from neonates with meningitis and brain abscesses. 6-13 To our knowledge, there have been no reports of the etiologic [jamanetwork.com]
The role of Citrobacter species in the etiology of PD-related peritonitis is often underestimated. [medsci.org]
These characteristic features pointed to Citrobacter as the etiological agent. The species identification of C. diversus was made on the basis of indole and adonitol positivity, hydrogen sulphide negativity and utilization of malonate. [scielo.br]
