Community-acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis in previously healthy infants and children: analysis of forty-three episodes

Abstract

Community-acquired P. aeruginosa sepsis in previously healthy infants is not rare in Taiwan. During warm weather seasons, in infants with fever and diarrhea who suddenly develop a septic appearance, it is advisable to cover for P. aeruginosa sepsis with aminoglycosides and/or anti-Pseudomonas beta-lactam antibiotics.
