Meningoencephalitis caused by Extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli is rare and associated with a high mortality risk, especially if complicated by septic shock. We report the case of a 28-year-old female patient admitted to intensive care unit with febrile coma and meningeal signs, in whom blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid cultures identified ESBL-producing E. coli. Despite resuscitation measures and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, the outcome was unfavourable. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of such an infection, as well as the need for documentation.
