  • Title: Necrotizing gastritis due to Bacillus cereus in an immunocompromised patient.
    Author: Le Scanff J, Mohammedi I, Thiebaut A, Martin O, Argaud L, Robert D.
    Journal: Infection; 2006 Apr; 34(2):98-9. PubMed ID: 16703301.
    Abstract:
    Bacillus cereus is increasingly being acknowledged as a serious bacterial pathogen in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of acute necrotizing gastritis caused by B. cereus in a 37-year-old woman with acute myeloblastic leukemia, who recovered following total parenteral nutrition and treatment with imipenem and vancomycin. B. cereus was isolated from gastric mucosa and blood cultures. Up to now, no case of acute necrotizing gastritis due to this organism has been reported.
