ABSTRACT
Pseudomonas species have been a cause of important infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Pseudomonas meningitis is very rare, although bacteremia with Pseudomonas is common amongst cancer patients. We encountered a case of Pseudomonas meningitis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during induction chemotherapy. Pseudomonas meningitis may spread from skin and mucosal infection during the leukopenic nadir period. Ancillary manifestations associated with main signs, such as fever, may prompt us to consider Pseudomonas infection in hospitalized immunocompromised patients due to increased bacterial colonization.
