Urinary system infection, meningitis, sepsis, osteomyelitis, necrotic phasitis, selulitis, endocarditis, abdominal apse, endoftalmitis can cause many clinical tables. Immunosuppressed patients, premature babies are a risk group of E. meningoseptica infections.

In routine examinations, no laboratory findings that would consider the presence of infection except the high level of C-reactive protein were found in the fact that external drainage kateters were installed with the cause of hydrosphaly, in which time the brain was taken in the sample of the spinal fluid E. meningoseptica was produced. Ampyrically, the treatment of meropenem, cholistine and vancomycin began according to the result of the culture of the phenomenon, the treatment was not changed and was dismissed 45 days after the rest. Neonatal meningitis caused by E. meningoseptica is fatal in most of the cases.
