Summary : We report the first Moroccan case of community-acquired meningoencephalitis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae in an adult immunocompetent without medical history, complicated of cerebral vasculitis and right endophthalmitis. K. pneumoniae is exceptionally responsible for meningitis community in the world excepted in some countries of Southeast Asia. It usually occurs on fragile field and is associated with high mortality. The early management of the patient, the immunocompetent field and the wild phenotype of the isolated strain probably allowed to get a medical cure with some sequelae. |
