GIMENEZ ORTIGOZA, Víctor Daniel e LLANES, Gloria Raquel. Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteremia, a rare cause of septic shock. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2019, vol.6, n.1, pp.128-133. Epub 01-Mar-2019. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2019.06(01)128-133.
ABSTRACT
Leuconostoc mesenteroides belongs to the family Streptococcaceae. They are gram-positive coccobacilli, intrinsically resistant to multiple antibiotics, therefore treatment options may be limited. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who consulted for febrile sensation, asthenia and malaise. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed during hospitalization and later the patient developed a septic shock due to Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteremia.
