Lawsonella clevelandensis : an emerging cause of vascular graft infection.
BMJ Case Reports 2021 Februrary 27
Lawsonella clevelandensis, an emerging pathogen, was first described in 2016, and has been implicated in abdominal, breast and spinal abscesses in a limited number of cases. Being a fastidious organism, it is primarily identified with molecular methods. With the incorporation of broad-range PCR testing in clinical diagnostics, L. clevelandensis has been increasingly reported in the literature. We describe a case of a 65-year-old man who presented with bilateral psoas abscesses secondary to aorto-bi-iliac vascular graft infection with L. clevelandensis identified using 16S rRNA/PCR sequencing. The patient underwent surgical resection and replacement of infected graft, followed by 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy and then chronic suppression with doxycycline and cefadroxil. He was infection-free at last follow-up.
