Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia, a rare complication of endoscopic retrograde cholagiopancreatography!

Abstract

Bacteremia is a severe and sometimes fatal complication following endoscopic retrograde cholagiopancreatography (ERCP). Several bacteria have been implicated, with Enterobacteriaceae being the most common. We report a case of post-ERCP multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia.
