  • Title: Septicemia due to Streptococcus equisimilis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
    Author: Appelbaum PC, Shaikh BS, Gordon RA, Hallgren EJ.
    Journal: Cancer; 1979 Oct; 44(4):1226-7. PubMed ID: 291465.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in relapse with documented septicemia due to group C Streptococci (Streptococcus equisimilis) is described. The patient responded well to therapy with appropriate cytotoxic and antimicrobial agents. There is a general lack of recognition of the pathogenicity of group C Streptococci in man. The potential opportunistic nature of these organisms in immunocompromised hosts and the need for early recognition and appropriate treatment of such infection is emphasized.
