An unusual paediatric case of a bronchogenic cyst infected with both Haemophilus influenzae type b and Streptococcus pneumoniae is described, which was detected not by culture of the purulent cyst fluid, but by real-time PCR amplification for several potential pathogens of DNA extracted from the fluid.

Abbreviations: CRP, C-reactive protein; CT, computed tomography; HIB, Haemophilus influenzae type b.
