Central venous catheter infection with Brevibacterium sp. in an immunocompetent woman: case report and review of the literature
Infection.
2006 Apr.
Abstract
Brevibacterium spp. were considered apathogenic until a few reports of infections in immunocompromised patients were published. Herein, we present a case of a catheter-related septicemia with Brevibacterium casei in an immunocompetent patient receiving continuous iloprost infusion for pulmonary arterial hypertension and review the clinical presentation of this mainly emerging opportunistic pathogen.
