  • Title: [Report of a case of subcutaneous abscess due to Eikenella corrodens in a splenectomized patient (author's transl)].
    Author: Peloux Y, Carcassonne Y, Quilichini F.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1977 Apr; 25(4):245-6. PubMed ID: 327407.
    Abstract:
    A case of subcutaneous abscess of the chest-wall due to Eikenella corrodens is reported in a patient recently splenectomized. This bacillus was grown in pure culture. Processing specimens and identification methods of this little Gram-negative bacillus are described. Eikenella corrodens is a commensal frequently encountered in mucous membrane surfaces. It is likely that this microorganism may be an "opportunist" pathogen.
