Title: | Actinomyces odontolyticus - associated bacteremia | Authors: | Anika Trudić Anka Vukelić Nevena Sečen Danica Sazdanić Velikić Daliborka Bursać |
Keywords: | Actinomyces odontolyticus;opportunistic infection;bacteremia;immunosuppression;lung malignancy | Issue Date: | 15-Oct-2012 | Journal: | Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences | Abstract: | Many Actinomyces species are part of the oral microflora of humans. Actinomyces odontolyticus - associated infections are exceptionally rare, presenting an endogenous infection originating from mucous membranes. Immunodeficiency is often complicated by severe opportunistic bacterial infections leading to critical condition of the patient. We report a case of an immunosuppressed patient with fever and Actinomyces odontolyticus bacteremia. The patient poorly responded to the applied antimicrobial therapy and did not recover. © 2012 Považan A. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/13267 | ISSN: | 18575749 | DOI: | 10.3889/MJMS.1857-5773.2012.0242 |
