Abstract
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a gram-negative bacterium, ubiquitous in the environment, and it also causes opportunistic infections in humans. We describe a case with hematologic malignancy, peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The patient was hospitalized for antineoplastic chemotherapy. In the course of treatment, the patient acquired P. stutzeri, most probably from the hospital environment and bacteremia of P. stutzeri and then pneumonia developed. The bacteria were identified based on conventional microbiological identification techniques. Even though P. stutzeri is ubiquitous in the environment and a rare human pathogen, it should always be considered as a bacterial agent for opportunistic infections in hospitalized patients, especially immune depressed patients.
