Abstract

Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is a lactose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli ubiquitously found in the natural and hospital environment. Clinical infection caused by C meningosepticum is very rare among healthy adults. We present the case of a patient with end-stage renal disease who developed purulent pericarditis with C meningosepticum infection, which rapidly evolved into cardiac tamponade and death. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which C meningosepticum caused fatal purulent pericarditis in a hemodialysis patient. © 2006 National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
