Clinico-physiologic parameters of patients with monomicrobial acquisition of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in an outbreak in an adult critical care unit, London, UK, 2012–2013. Thirteen patients in the outbreak cohort were identified as having monomicrobial E. meningoseptica acquisition of which eight demonstrated a rise in clinico-physiologic parameters of inflammation in the 48 hours pre- and post- acquisition of E. meningoseptica (patient numbers match those given in Table 1).

Figure 2. Clinicophysiologic parameters of patients with monomicrobial acquisition of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in an outbreak in an adult critical care unit, London, UK, 2012–2013. Thirteen patients in the outbreak cohort were identified as having monomicrobial E. meningoseptica acquisition. Of these, 8 patients demonstrated an increase in 5 clinicophysiologic parameters of inflammation during the 48 hours before and after acquisition of E. meningoseptica: A) body temperature; B) oxygen saturation; C) pulse rate; D) lymphocyte count; and D) C-reactive protein. Patient numbers match those given in Table 1.
