Stomatococcus mucilaginosus septicemia in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Abstract
A 16-year-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia which had relapsed for the third time developed clinical signs and symptoms of septicemia during a period of neutropenia. The patient had signs of oral mucositis, and Stomatococcus mucilaginosus was isolated from blood cultures. The patient responded well to antibiotic therapy. The biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 68 other pharyngeal isolates of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus from immunocompromised patients are presented.
