摘要
Infective endocarditis (IE) in the neonatal age group is a rare entity. The common organisms causing IE in neonates are Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Candida. Acinetobacter as a cause of IE has been rarely reported in adults with mortality as high as 60%. We are here reporting the first case of Acinetobacter neonatal IE that was successfully treated.
