Abstrakt: |
Pseudomonas cepacia is known as an opportunistic pathogen in the patients with altered host defence. We report a case of hospital-acquired fatal sepsis due to P. cepacia in a child with no known defect in immune system. Virulence of the organism was indicated by the high magnitude of septicaemia. The organism was successfully eliminated by ceftriaxone but the patient died of renal failure. |
