Abstract: Introduction. Leukonostoc pseudomesenteroides until recently was classified as a commensal microorganism, but from 1985 until now several sporadic cases of infection with this pathogen have been described in humans. Bacteremia with Leuconostoc spp. are increasingly reported. Unique cases of infection of other sites have also been described. Most often, these cases have been reported in patients with cancer, and are often considered opportunistic for acquired immunodeficiencies. However, several cases have also been reported in immunocompetent patients. Material and methods. An analysis of the literature and the clinical case are presented here: an 11-month-old child with congenital malformation – rabbit lip, who had pneumonia 2 months before his admission to the Toma Ciorba Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital. Results. Meningococcemia and meningitis were clinically established upon admission. A few days later the blood culture result was with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides. The etiological treatment was corrected and the sterile result of the blood culture was obtained. The child was released in a satisfactory condition. Conclusions. The clinical case presented is the first case of infection with Leuconstoc spp. described in the Republic of Moldova. The correct choice of the etiological treatment allows the eradication of this pathogen.
Introducere. Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides până nu demult a fost catalogat drept microorganism comensal, însă din 1985 până în prezent au fost descrise câteva cazuri sporadice de infecție cu acest agent patogen la om. Bacteriemiile cu Leuconostoc spp. sunt tot mai frecvent raportate. Au fost descrise cazuri unice de infectare și ale altor situsuri. Cel mai des, aceste cazuri au fost atestate la pacienții cu stări canceroase, fiind deseori apreciate drept oportuniste imunodeficiențelor dobândite. Însă, și la imunocompetenți au fost descrise câteva cazuri. Material și metode. Este prezentat o analiză a literaturii și un caz clinic al unui copil de 11 luni cu malformație congenitală – cheloschizis (buza de iepure), suportând pneumonie cu 2 luni înainte de internare. Rezultate. La internare au fost stabilite clinic meningococcemia și meningita. Peste câteva zile rezultatul hemoculturii a permis identificarea de Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides. A fost corectat tratamentul etiologic și obținut rezultatul steril al hemoculturii. Copilul a fost externat în stare satisfăcătoare. Concluzii. Cazul clinic prezentat este primul caz de infecție cu Leuconostoc spp. descris în Republica Moldova. Alegerea corectă a tratamentului etiologic permite eradicarea acestui agent patogen.
