Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is a gram negative bacillus which is a nosocomial infectious cause in neonatal intensive care units and immunosuppressive patients. In the literature there are some phenomenal case reports of nosocomial bacteremia/sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, skin/soft tissue infections, intra abdominal abscesses, peritonitis and endophthalmitis especially in adults. Here we present a previously healthy child with community-acquired fatal pneumonia and septic shock due to Chryseobacterium meningosepticum.

Özet
Gram negatif bir basil olan Chryseobacterium meningosepticum , yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitelerinde ve sıklıkla immun sistemi baskılanmış kişilerde hastane kaynaklı bir enfeksiyon etkeni olarak tanımlanmıştır. Literatürde Chryseobacterium meningosepticum ’un etken olduğu hemen hepsi hastane kaynaklı, çoğu erişkin, bakteriyemi/sepsis, pnömoni, menenjit, endokardit, cilt ve yumuşak doku enfeksiyonları, intra-abdominal abse, peritonit, endoftalmit tanısı almış az sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Burada ilk kez, sağlıklı bir bebek hastada toplum kaynaklı Chryseobacterium meningosepticuma bağlı gelişen fatal seyirli pnömoni ve septik şok tablosu sunuldu.
