  • Title: Bacillus cereus Sepsis in a Patient with Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis.
    Author: Suto K, Hayashi M, Fujita M, Abe K, Takahashi A, Ohira H.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2024 Jun 15; 63(12):1707-1711. PubMed ID: 37926546.
    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old woman with a liver injury was referred to our hospital. She had a history of heavy alcohol consumption and had developed severe alcoholic hepatitis. Blood cultures revealed bacteremia caused by Bacillus cereus. The patient was treated with short-term steroid therapy for liver injury and vancomycin administration for B. cereus sepsis, which led to recovery. The findings in the present case suggest the need for empirical therapy with vancomycin in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis and suspected B. cereus infection.
