Abstract:
Neisseria elongata is a normal group of bacteria in human oropharynx and a kind of gram-negative bacillus that cause disease, and its pathogenicity is rarely reported in China. In a few cases, it can cause septicemia, osteomyelitis and infective endocarditis. There are a few reports of other Neisseria causing peritonitis at home and abroad. The paper reported a case of Neisseria elongata-caused peritonitis and reviewed the literature. The patient was initially treated with ceftazidime combined with cefzolin overnight for 3 days, but the effect was not good. The subsequent peritoneal dialysis fluid culture results indicated Neisseria elongata, and the patient was cured and discharged after treatment with levofloxacin combined with drug sensitivity test, hoping to attract clinical workers' attention to the pathogenicity of Neisseria.
