초록

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var anitratus, a non-fermentative gram negative bacillus, has been infrequently reported as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Bacteremic community-acquired pneumonia caused by Acinetobacter is a fulminant disease with a high mortality (above 40 per cent in the reported case). The onset of the illness is rapid but nonspecific with fever, productive cough, pleuritic pain and rapid prostration. And the patients frequently present with respiratory distress, severe hypoxemia, leukopenia and septic shock. We experienced a case of community-acquired Acinetobacter pneumonia who underwent respiratory support with mechanical ventilator for about 4 weeks and survived. We report the case with review of literature.
