Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica Bacteremia Hospitalized Homeless Man with Squamous Cell Carcinoma.


ABSTRACT: We report a case of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica bacteremia in an elderly man in Japan who had squamous cell carcinoma. Blood cultures were initially negative for W. chitiniclastica but were positive on day 20. Careful attention needs to be paid to this organism in patients who have chronic wounds with maggots.
