Abstract
A 19 yr old man with hematemesis developed a bronchopneumonia and septicemia after being admitted to a hospital. Three blood cultures yielded a growth of P. ureae. An autopsy revealed liver cirrhosis and bleeding esophageal varices. P. ureae has been isolated from cases of sinusitis and chronic lung disease but is an extremely rare cause of meningitis and septicemia. This report describes the 2nd documented case of P. ureae septicemia in an adult.
