The emergence of Ochrobactrum anthropi as a bloodstream pathogen is uncommon, particularly among critically ill and immunocompromised patients. This case report details a 78-year-old male patient with O. anthropi bacteremia. His medical history was notable for advanced stage non-B non-C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), recent treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. Three weeks before the onset of bacteremia, ICI-induced myasthenia gravis (MG) was diagnosed, which was subsequently managed with pyridostigmine and prednisolone. O. anthropi was identified in two consecutive blood samples. While resistant to most common antibiotics, it remained susceptible to levofloxacin, minocycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). Considering the potential exacerbation of MG by certain antibiotics, TMP/SMX was chosen for treatment, and the patient exhibited excellent response. |
