Abstract
|
|
|
Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is a ubiquitous Gram-negative rod widely distributed in natural and hospital environments. It mostly causes meningitis in premature and newborn infants. Few such cases have been reported in Korea, and no case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum. A 53-year-old man was brought to the emergency department because of severe pneumonia. We report a case of community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum.
