Brevundimonas diminuta infection in a case of nephrotic syndrome

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2017 Apr-Jun;60(2):279-281. doi: 10.4103/IJPM.IJPM_679_15.

Abstract

Brevundimonas has rarely been isolated from clinical specimens. We here report a case of Brevundimonas diminuta infection in an 18-year-old male patient with nephrotic syndrome. B. diminuta was identified by the VITEK 2 Compact system, following isolation from his blood sample. To the best of our knowledge, B. diminuta has not been reported in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
