First report of a fatal case of Clostridium porci bacteremia in an 8-month-old girl presenting with purpura fulminans associated with concurrent Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection

Y. pseudotuberculosis rarely causes bacteremia and C. porci infection in humans is reported for the first time. Since Y. pseudotuberculosis can cause bacteremia, the bacteria should be cultured under conditions that allow Y. pseudotuberculosis to grow when patients with gastrointestinal diseases go into shock. In addition, a detailed analysis of C. porci, including its pathogenicity, is necessary because it can cause severe infections.
