Case report outlines sepsis from a rare gram-negative pathogen in a pediatric cardiac surgery patient, suggesting need for vigilance.
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a rare but emerging opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, primarily isolated from hospital environments and associated with severe infections in immunocompromised or critically ill patients. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl with a history of recurrent bronchopulmonary infections and recent cardiac surgery for a subaortic membrane, who developed sepsis postoperatively.
