Abstract

We are reporting a case of pneumococcal cellulitis with bacteremia in a patient with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and nephrotic syndrome. Four cases of pneumococcal cellulitis in adults have been reported in the literature. The potential etiologic role of Streptococcus pneumoniae in skin infections is pointed out, and possible predisposing factors and contributory conditions are described.
