A Case of Tracheobronchitis Caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes in an Immunosuppressed Patient

Chryseobacterium indologenes, önceki adıyla Flavobacterium indologenes, toprak, su, bitki ve yiyeceklerde doğal olarak bulunan, hastane ortamında ise su sistemleri ve ıslak yüzeylerde saptanabilen bir bakteridir. İnsan florasında yer almayan bakteri, enfeksiyon etkeni olarak nadiren izole edilmekle birlikte, son yıllarda Chryseobacterium indologenes kaynaklı enfeksiyonların sıklığında artış görülmektedir. Bu raporda, karaciğer transplantasyonundan ardından immünosüpresif tedavi gören bir hastada gelişen Chryseobacterium indologenes kaynaklı trakeobronşitin sunulması amaçlanmıştır

Bağışıklığı Baskılanmış Bir Hastada Chryseobacterium indologenes Kaynaklı Trakeobronşit Olgusu

Found in water systems and on damp surfaces in the hospital environment, Chryseobacterium indologenes is a naturally occurring bacterium which is rarely isolated in clinical samples. However, in recent years, Chryseobacterium indologenes has increasingly emerged as an agent of infection in patients with suppressed immune systems. This report presents the case of a patient receiving immunosuppressive treatment following a liver transplant who developed Chryseobacterium indologenes-related tracheobronchitis
