Septicaemia with a dysgonic fermenter-2 (DF-2) bacterium in a compromised host

W Fibbe et al. Infection. 1985 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Dysgonic fermenter-2 (DF-2) is a newly described gram-negative bacterium that can produce serious infections in the compromised host. We are reporting a case of DF-2 septicaemia in a splenectomized patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The clinical spectrum of infections due to the DF-2 bacterium, the difficulties in establishing the diagnosis and the preferential treatment are discussed.
