Escherichia Coli Meningitis in an Immunocompromised Oncology Patient - Case Report

This is a case report that highlights the diagnostic and treatment complexities of an oncology patient (rectal neoplasia) with Escherichia coli meningitis. The study focuses on laboratory findings and imaging results leading to the definitive diagnosis, addressing signs and symptoms, blood culture history, treatment administered, and clinical outcome. The aim is to contribute to the medical literature by providing relevant information on the treatment of Escherichia coli meningitis in an adult immunocompromised patient due to neoplasia, to stimulate future research and diagnostic reasoning, and to raise awareness among healthcare professionals about the rarity of the case and the careful use of antibiotic therapy to improve the quality of care.
