We experienced a case of urinary tract infection in a 3-month-old child caused by Kluyvera ascorbata. The authors report the case and review the literature regarding Kluyvera urinary tract infection exclusively in children. Kluyvera infection, which had been extremely rare, has increasingly been reported, including urinary tract infection. A prompt identification of Kluyvera species in clinical infections is important. Recognition of its disease-producing potential and the subsequent initiation of effective antimicrobial coverage are essential for appropriate management in the pediatric population.
我们遇到了一例由 Kluyvera ascorbata 引起的 3 个月大婴儿尿路感染。作者报告了该病例，并对文献进行了回顾，专门探讨了 Kluyvera 尿路感染在儿童中的情况。Kluyvera 感染曾极为罕见，但现在报告的病例越来越多，包括尿路感染。在临床感染中及时识别 Kluyvera 种属非常重要。认识到其致病潜力，并随后开始使用有效的抗菌药物覆盖，对于儿科人群的适当管理至关重要。
