Abstract EN

I am writing regarding the publication of S.

A.

Nemil et al., “A Case of Healthcare Associated Pneumonia Caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes in an Immunocompetent Patient” [1].

In the published case report, the authors state that the patient acquired a Healthcare Associated Pneumonia (HAP) caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes.

Notwithstanding that the patient had a HAP, the evidence that the infection was caused by C.

indologenes is insufficient and could possibly be questionable.
