Chromobacterium violaceum presenting as a surgical emergency

Journal Article · · South. Med. J.; (United States)
; ;
A case of Chromobacterium violaceum infection in a patient who apparently acquired the infection from the water of a Florida river is described. In addition to the usual presentation of sepsis, hepatic abscesses, and pustular dermatits, the patient presented as an acute abdominal emergency. Although most reported cases have been fatal, this patient recovered completely. Chromobacterium violaceum infection should be considered when a patient presents with a febrile illness after a water accident in the southeastern United States.
