Core Tip
Core Tip:Elizabethkingia miricola infection is rarely reported. We report a 54-year-old male with Elizabethkingia miricola infection in the lungs after surgery for cerebral hemorrhage. The clinical symptoms after infection were nonspecific and could not be timely and accurately diagnosed. Therefore, this report focuses on the imaging characteristics of pulmonary Elizabethkingia miricola infection.
