A 29-year-old woman affected by intestinal pseudo-obstruction and requiring home parenteral nutrition, was hospitalised for fever and shivering during the infusion through a long-term central venous catheter (CVC). Blood cultures were positive for\u00a0K. kristinae\u00a0infection. At a chest CT scan, two partially cavitated nodular lesions were evidenced. Meropenem antibiotic therapy was used locally and systemically, resulting in catheter use restoration. A chest CT scan two months later at follow-up showed two centimetric, fibrotic and disventilatory areas replacing the previous nodular thickenings. Kokuria kristinae was responsible for haematogenous pulmonary involvement with excavated nodules, requiring a differential diagnosis. Moreover, in the case of a CVC infection, in addition to the risk of right endocarditis, haematogenous pneumonia must also be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12890\/2024_004314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]],"date-time":"2024-03-11T12:27:25Z","timestamp":1710160045000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Haematogenous pneumonia caused by Kocuria kristinae in a patient with a central venous catheter"],"prefix":"10.12890","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Natale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clelia","family":"Nasti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annadora","family":"Morena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Pasanisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lidia","family":"Santarpia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10397","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.12890\/2024_004314_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"<li>Bernshteyn M, Kumar PA, Joshi S.
