    Abstract:
    The incidence of Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia in hospital-acquired pneumonia in Japan is rare. We report a case of ventilator-associated A. baumanii pneumonia. A 69-year-old man admitted for fever was diagnosed with Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia based on chest radiography, urine antigen, and sputum examination. Despite appropriate antibiotics, the pneumonia progressed, necessitating intensive respiratory management. Ten days there after, he suffered sudden septic shock and superimposed pneumonia despite both carbapenem and fluoroquinolone administration. A. baumanii was detected from blood and sputum. Piperacilline/tazobactam, amikacin, and intensive care saved his life.
