ABSTRACT
Kluyvera ascorbata, a new species in the family Enterobacteriaceae, has been rarely isolated from environmental and clinical specimens. It is a potentially dangerous pathogen that can cause serious infection of various organs. Recently, we treated a 32-year old woman, who developed cholangitis about 3 years after excisional operation for type IVa choledochal cyst. K. ascorbata was recovered from her blood. Empirical antibiotic treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone for 7 days followed by oral ciprofloxacin for 5 days was successful. This is the first well-documented case of bacteremia due to K. ascorbata cholangitis in the world.
