Pediatric Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia is uncommon. It is mostly seen with impaired immune defenses and is most often nosocomially acquired, but it does occasionally occur in the previously healthy. Empiric antibiotics not effective against P. aeruginosa can result in poor outcomes. To determine the risk factors for P. aeruginosa bacteremia, all pediatric cases of P. aeruginosa bacteremia hospitalized at a single center over a 5-year period were reviewed.
