ABSTRACT
Bacillus cereus is an aerobic, spore-forming, gram-positive rod. It has historically been associated with "fried rice syndrome," a foodborne diarrheal and emetic illness resulting from eating fried rice dishes that have been sitting at room temperature for hours. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who developed culture-positive B cereus fasciitis of the right lower extremity after being impaled on a tree branch. This case report further elucidates and emphasizes the importance of recognizing B cereus as a possible cause of severe soft-tissue infection. It must be included in the differential diagnosis of gas gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis.
