Community acquired Pseudomonas meningoencephalitis in a middle-aged diabetic woman: A case report

<i>Pseudomonas</i> species are environmental Gram-negative bacteria recognized for their potential to cause opportunistic infections, particularly among immunocompromised patients and those with a history of surgical procedures. Community-acquired meningoencephalitis resulting from <i>Pseudomonas</i> infection is rare but poses a significant risk of mortality. This case describes an unusual instance of primary <i>Pseudomonas</i> meningoencephalitis in a patient with diabetes mellitus, highlighting the necessity of early recognition and timely management.

Abstract

<i>Pseudomonas</i> species are environmental Gram-negative bacteria recognized for their potential to cause opportunistic infections, particularly among immunocompromised patients and those with a history of surgical procedures. Community-acquired meningoencephalitis resulting from <i>Pseudomonas</i> infection is rare but poses a significant risk of mortality. This case describes an unusual instance of primary <i>Pseudomonas</i> meningoencephalitis in a patient with diabetes mellitus, highlighting the necessity of early recognition and timely management.
