title: Vancomycin resistant enterococcus bacteremia in a patient with Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, granulocystic sarcoma and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
abstract: In this case report we aimed to present a patient with granulocytic sarcomaa, neutropenic fever, ARDS and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumoniae that was hospitalized in our intensive care unit. The patient recovered and then developed vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) bacteremia due to port catheter during follow up. The patient had risk factors for VRE bacteremia and he was administered linezolide without removing the catheter. He was discharged with recovery.
