title: Chryseobacterium indologenes peritonitis in a patient with malignant ascites.
abstract: Chryseobacterium indologenes is an uncommon pathogen of human disease and is usually associated with indwelling devices or immunocompromised hosts. We report here an unusual case of C. indologenes peritonitis in an oncological patient with malignant ascites. The patient was treated successfully by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole without removal of the catheter.
