Raoultella planticola is a Gram‐negative, non‐motile, aerobic bacillus. It is an environmental bacteria found in soil and water, and a very rare cause of local or systemic infection in humans. Although some adult cases of R . planticola infection have been reported, childhood local or systemic infection caused by R . planticola is very rare. Reported herein is a rare case of acute cystitis due to R . planticola in a 16‐month‐old boy with rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder neck, and a review of the literature.
