Invasive Chromobacterium violaceum infection in children: case report and review

Sayomporn Sirinavin et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

A 3.3-year-old boy developed Chromobacterium violaceum abscesses of lungs, liver and spleen and was successfully treated. He had chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Twenty-five episodes of invasive C. violaceum infection in 24 children were reviewed. All 9 CGD and 10 nonbacteremic cases survived, but 12 of 16 (75%) non-CGD and 12 of 15 (80%) bacteremic patients died.
