[Multiple brain abscesses complicating Enterobacter cloacae sepsis in a premature infant].
A neonatal infection with Enterobacter cloacae was diagnosed at day 21 in a premature infant. Five cerebral abscesses were discovered 6 days while a treatment with cefotaxim and amikacin was administered. We switched for axepim during 4 weeks and ciprofloxacin until complete regression of cerebral abscesses. At 13 months of age, the infant neurodevelopmental outcome was normal. Ciprofloxacin indications and tolerance during neonatal period are discussed.
