| الوصف: | Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in neonates with very low birth weight (VLBW) may have major clinical consequences due to their immunocompromised status. Bacillus cereus is a rare pathogen that can cause serious infection in these patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. We report the case of an extremely preterm neonate who developed severe infection of the CNS caused by B. cereus with progressive neurological deterioration despite broad spectrum antibiotic treatment. She died at the age of 16 months. In conclusion, we wish to increase the awareness among health care practitioner about the possibility of infection due to B. cereus in sick neonates and its devastating course in this population. |
