  • Title: [Chromobacterium violaceum peritonitis: case report and literature review].
    Author: Watine J, Courtade A, Pham E, Lievrouw C, Dubourdieu B, Guérin B, Gineston JL.

    Abstract:
    We report a case of Chromobacterium violaceum infection and we review the literature for all published cases. C. violaceum grew from a peritoneal fluid of a 47-year-old woman operated on for peritonitis following perforative gastroduodenal ulcer. She was just coming back from a 1-month-holyday in French Guyana, where she might have been in contact with this micro-organism. The patient fully recovered after surgical management associated with antibiotic therapy consisting of ofloxacin plus piperacillin-tazobactam. Among the more than a hundred of published cases of human infections with C. violaceum that we retrieved, there was not any other case of peritonitis.
