A 4frac12-month-old, white girl was admitted to the hospital with respiratory distress and persistent polymicrobial bacteremia. Cystic fibrosis associated with malnutrition and a transient defect in peripheral neutrophil chemotaxis was diagnosed. This remarkable combination of presenting features in a patient with cystic fibrosis is the focus of this case report.

Key Words: polymicrobial bacterial sepsis • defective neutrophil chemotaxis • infant • cystic fibrosis
