Computed Tomography Findings of Community-AcquiredStenotrophomonas MaltophiliaPneumonia in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(S. maltophilia) is a rare, but globally emerging gram-negative multiple-drug-resistant organism usually found in a nosocomial setting in immunocompromised patients. To our best knowledge, computed tomography (CT) features of community-acquiredS. maltophiliapneumonia have not been previously reported in an immunocompetent patient. Herein, we presented the CT findings of a previous healthy 56-year-old male withS. maltophiliapneumonia.
