Abstract: We report 2 infants hospitalized with Cronobacter sakazakiimeningitis. Each infant had exposure to powdered infant formula at home. Both infants survived, but 1 infant had a subdural empyema drained and developed left sensorineural hearing loss. Early advanced brain imaging is recommended in infants with C. sakazakiimeningitis. Reporting to state and federal public health officials may help identify outbreaks.
