  • Title: Dental infection in a cirrhotic patient. Source of recurrent sepsis.
    Author: Borowsky SA, Hasse A, Wiedlin R, Lott E.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1979 Apr; 76(4):836-9. PubMed ID: 369935.
    Abstract:
    A patient with alcoholic cirrhosis had multiple episodes of sepsis with Klebsiella pneumonia. Repeated searches for the source of infection finally revealed the organism in the root of a tooth. Evidence indicated that this site was the primary source of infection. The importance of dental infections in alcoholics and the difficulty in diagnosing those infections are emphasized by this case.
