Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a rare but emerging cause of fulminant community-acquired pneumonia (CAP-AB). We describe a patient from a rural area who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock. We describe risk factors and characteristics of this syndrome and review published cases of CAP-AB from North America.

Between 1984 and 1988, a resurgence of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) was reported in several pediatric centers.1-3 During the same time, pediatric cases,4-6 and, recently, adult cases6 of poststreptococcal reactive arthritis (PSRA) have been reported. Although several of these patients had or developed multisystemic manifestations,4,5 none of these cases fully adhered to the guidelines of the revised Jones criteria.7 Thus, these individuals were given the diagnosis of PSRA or poststreptococcal rheumatic syndrome (PSRS) rather than ARF.4-6,8-10 One of the leading causes of acquired pediatric heart disease in North America is carditis of ARF,3 and severe cases can result in congestive heart failure, the need for valve replacement, or death.11
