We describe the first case of bacteraemia caused by Chromobacterium violaceum in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This diagnosis was made in an apparently healthy adult who was admitted to a rural hospital of the province of Bandundu with severe community-acquired sepsis. The patient developed multi-organ failure and died; to our knowledge, this is the first reported fatal case in an adult in Africa.
我们描述了刚果民主共和国首例由紫色色杆菌引起的菌血症病例。该诊断是在一名看似健康的成年人身上做出的，他因严重的社区获得性败血症入住班顿杜省的一家乡村医院。患者出现多器官功能衰竭并死亡；据我们所知，这是非洲首例报道的成人致命病例。
