Abstract
|
|
|
Cases of anaerobic bacteremia are rare, and the clinical impact of clostridial bacteremia remains to be clarified. Previous clinical reports have suggested that C. bifermentans is less virulent than other Clostridia species. This microorganism has occasionally been reported to cause septic arthritis, necrotizing pneumonia with empyema, brain abscesses, endocarditis, and metastatic osteomyelitis. Herein, we report on a case of C. bifermentans bacteremia in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome in South Korea.
