Secondary infection of chylothorax with Serratia marcescens: a rare scenario post-cardiac surgery.

Karthik Kumaran1, Sowmya Ramanan1, Baiju Sasi Dharan1.   

Abstract

Infection of chylothorax is considered rare because chyle is inherently bacteriostatic. We report a case of an infected chylothorax occurring in a post-cardiac surgery patient caused by Serratia marcescens. Once considered a harmless saprophyte, Serratia marcescens is now recognized as an important opportunistic pathogen causing healthcare-associated infection with a propensity for antimicrobial resistance. © Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2019.
