Elizabethkingia spp are Gram-negative bacteria associated with neonatal meningitis. In 2015–2016, an outbreak of Elizabethkingia anophelis infection that involved 63 patients and 18 deaths occurred in Wisconsin. Despite a multistate investigation, as of September 2016 the source remained undetermined, and experts warned of reemergence. We describe here the first cases of E anophelis infection in New York, including the case of a healthy infant without previous healthcare contact.
