Community-acquired Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia: a rare case in Brazil

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Acinetobacter baumannii, a common pathogen in nosocomial infections, is a rare cause of community-acquired pneumonia. This report highlights the difficulties in its early diagnosis and effective treatment, as it is a multidrug-resistant microorganism with rapid, unfavorable progression. To better understand its clinical outcome, we searched the literature for similar cases but found no community-acquired cases in Brazil.
