Chryseobacterium indologenes is a non-glucose fermenting Gram-negative bacteria widely distributed in nature. It has been found to cause a variety of infections like nosocomial pneumonia, bacteremia and wound infections usually in immunosuppressed patients and those with indwelling devices. The organism is resistant to a significant number of the commonly prescribed broad spectrum antibiotics. We report a rare case of meningitis due to C. indologenes in a patient diagnosed with medulloblastoma and hydrocephalus with an external ventricular drain in situ. The patient was successfully treated with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole combination and external ventricular drain replacement as shown by subsequent sterile cultures.
