Abstract:
Elizabethkingia anophelis is one of the most significant pathogens threatening human health.As an important opportunistic pathogen, it is prone to nosocomial infection outbreaks, and can cause neonatal meningitis, especially in prematurity, seriously affecting the safety and quality of life of children.E.anophelis has the characteristic of multi-drug resistance, which brings great challenges to clinical treatment.E.anophelis was commonly misidentified as E. meningosepticum in previous reports.In fact, E.anophelis accounts for a significant proportion of Elizabethkingia infections, which needs more attention.This article reviews the epidemiology of E. anophelis, clinical features of neonatal infection, drug sensitivity, treatment and prevention, in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
