  • Title: Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis bacteremia. A case report and literature review.
    Author: Wallace MR, Oldfield EC.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1990 Jun; 150(6):1332-4. PubMed ID: 2112907.
    Abstract:
    Moraxella catarrhalis is increasingly recognized as a cause of pulmonary and upper airway disease, but bacteremia remains unusual. We treated a 71-year-old man who died of rapidly progressive bacteremic M catarrhalis bronchopneumonia. This case, and a review of the 27 previously reported M catarrhalis bacteremias in the literature, demonstrated that M catarrhalis can be a virulent organism capable of causing serious infection and death in both immunocompetent and compromised hosts.
