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

Abstract

Pseudomonas 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 Pseudomonas infection is rare but poses a significant risk of mortality. This case describes an unusual instance of primary Pseudomonas meningoencephalitis in a patient with diabetes mellitus, highlighting the necessity of early recognition and timely management.
