Abstract:
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a rare cause of infection in infants. The majority of case reports belong to hospitalized infants with indwelling devices. We are presenting a rare case of Chryseobacterium indologenes meningitis in a healthy newborn with no neonatal intensive care unit admissions or indwelling devices. The pathogen is resistant to many antibiotics and the patient was successfully treated with cefepime. This is the first case of C. indolegenes meningitis presented in a newborn with no indwelling device, NICU or long-term broad spectrum antibiotics. The choice of antibiotics can be challenging since the pathogen may exhibit resistance to a number of antibiotics.
