title: Multidrug-resistantAcinetobactermeningitis in children.
abstract: Acinetobacterspecies have emerged as one of the most troublesome pathogens for healthcare institutions globally. In more recent times, nosocomial infections involving the central nervous system, skin and soft tissue, and bone have emerged as highly problematic.Acinetobacterspecies infection is common in intensive care units; however,Acinetobacter baumanniimeningitis is rarely reported. Here, we report two cases ofAcinetobacter baumanniimeningitis which was multidrug resistance and ultimately required the carbapenem group of drugs for the treatment.
