ABSTRACT
Stenotrophomonas maltophiliais a nonfermentative Gram-negative bacillus, and this is an emerging pathogen for nosocomial infection. It is commonly associated with pneumonia and catheter-related bacteremia, and especially in immunocompromised patients. Cutaneous infection with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is uncommon, yet it may cause therapeutic problems because of its intrinsic resistance to common antibiotics and the immunodeficiency of the affected host. Herein, we report on a case of metastatic cellulitis secondary to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia, and this developed in an immunocompromised patient. He was successfully treated with intravenous trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
