Escherichia coli--infected cephalohematoma in an infant

Katherine J Weiss et al. Clin Pediatr (Phila). 2009 Sep.

Abstract

This report describes a 1-month-old female with bacteremia and meningitis complicated by an infected cephalohematoma that resulted from hematogenous seeding. This report serves as a reminder that, although occurring rarely, inflammation overlying a cephalohematoma in an infant with bacteremia can indicate focal infection that requires incision and drainage for resolution.
