Ho MP et al. - The authors present a case of fatal Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis and concomitant disseminated intravascular coagulation in a 72-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus. Both blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures grew Klebsiella pneumoniae . Due to advanced age, newly recognized DM, K. pneumoniae bacteremia, and DIC, the prognosis of the patient was poor. Eight hours after arrival to the emergency department, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was necessary in this patient, but she died despite an early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
