Abstract：A rare case of septicemia complicated with meningitis in a child caused by Sphingomonas paucimobilis is reported. The patient was admitted for a sudden high fever with petechiae distributed on the skin. Based on the biochemistry test of cerebrospinal fluid and the microbiological culture and identification in laboratory, the diagnosis was conformed to be septicemia complicated with bacterial meningitis. Meningitis in children caused by Sphingomonas paucimobilis was rare. Since bacterial meningitis cases share common symptoms with epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, it is important for the clinicians and laboratories to study the etiology carefully during epidemic season.
