Immunoblastic lymphadenopathy presenting as an acute abdomen and mixed bacteremia with Eikenella corrodens and group C streptococci
Abstract
Eikenella corrodens and group C streptococci have been noted to occur with increased frequency in patients with underlying malignancies and immunosuppressive states. We report a case where these organisms were isolated from a patient with immunoblastic lymphadenopathy and discuss the possible association between these two conditions.
