One of my 38 yrs old patient is detected with Citrobacter Koseri >100,000 organism/ml in urine culture. No UTI Symptoms. USG was normal during 15th week of pregnancy. Her Gynaec is going to start with antibiotics now but was wondering what is the chance of baby getting meningitis or sepsis problems or any other complications due to this bacteria.
45 to 50% chances of meningitis caused by gram negative.. and citrobacter is also gram negative..
Other complications can include brain abcess and ventriculitis
