Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and drug sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in children. Methods The data of children with diagnosed Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 2006 to 2016 were retrospectively analysis. Results There were 14 patients who had diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, most of whom were infants and toddlers ( 78 . 6%). The common complications were disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and pulmonary hemorrhage. In 14 patients, 7 patients were cured, 4 were died, and 3 were given up treatment by their family because of serious illness. The antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that isolated pseudomonas aeruginosa had good sensitivity to aminoglycosides and quinolones. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis is more common in infants and toddlers, with high mortality. For suspected patients, the antibiotic that covers the Pseudomonas aeruginosa should be used in early antibiotic therapy.
