Spinal <i>Leclercia adecarboxylata</i> infection in an immunocompetent patient: case report

A literature review revealed documentation of 227 cases of <i>L. adecarboxylata</i> infections worldwide, which were reported without a clear pattern but with the highest incidences in Asia. The most common manifestations included bacteremia (22% of patients), soft tissue infections (12.3%), and peritonitis. Notably, 86% of patients recovered, whereas 7% died. This case report and literature review emphasize the importance of accurate identification and treatment, as well as the need for further research to address knowledge gaps on the behavior and management of this pathogen.
