Combination Therapy of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) and Eravacycline for Treating Elizabethkingia anophelis-Induced Pulmonary Infections: A Case Report.

is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious life-threatening infections. In this report, we describe a case of pulmonary infection caused by in a young female patient, following cardiac surgery, which was successfully treated with a combination of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) and eravacycline. Additionally, this report provides a summary of high-risk factors for infection, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic options. Given the high degree of antimicrobial drug resistance of the organism and the fact that inappropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy constitutes a risk factor for mortality, our case serves as a valuable reference for similar cases, highlighting potential strategies for effective management.
