Bacteremia Caused by Raoultella ornithinolytica in Two Children

Kiyoshi Yamakawa et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

We encountered 2 immunocompromised children complicated by Raoultella ornithinolytica bacteremia. One had received methylprednisolone pulse therapy for IgA nephropathy, and the other had leukopenia because of chemotherapy for leukemia. Both children had no specific symptoms, and R. ornithinolytica bacteremia was identified by routine blood culture. Both patients were successfully treated with antibiotic treatment.
