Hafnia alvei septicemia in an infant with necrotizing enterocolitis
1Department of Pediatrics, Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans, LA 70121.
Abstract:
Hafnia alvei is an infrequently reported pathogen in children, and its isolation in a newborn is even more unusual. This organism is rarely associated with invasive disease. This article reports the first case of a neonate with necrotizing enterocolitis and subsequent ileal perforation who had H. alvei isolated from both blood and stool.
