Fatal Case of Community-Acquired Bacteremia and Necrotizing Fasciitis Caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum: Case Report and Review of the Literature

摘要

A diabetic patient with chronic heart failure developed necrotizing fasciitis and bacteremia caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum, which rapidly evolved into death, even with fasciotomy and intensive care. A review of the English literature found 10 cases of soft tissue infection caused by C. meningosepticum, which is rarely acquired in the community.
