Oerskovia xanthineolytica: a new pathogen in bone marrow transplantation
Bone Marrow Transplant.
1998 Sep.
Abstract
A 53-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin lymphoma underwent an autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT). Incomplete reconstitution necessitated the use of a long-term central venous catheter. One year after BMT she presented with fever. Echocardiography revealed vegetations on the tricuspid valve. Gram-positive rods grown from blood cultures and catheter tip were identified as Oerskovia xanthineolytica. We report the first case of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism.
