Streptococcus Mitis Septicaemia and Hepatitis
Copyright policy )Streptococcus Mitis Septicaemia and Hepatitis
The case of an otherwise well 9-y-old boy with fever, papular rash, jaundice and impaired liver function is presented. Streptococcus mitis sensitive to penicillin grew in blood culture. The boy had an excellent outcome. The clinical spectrum of viridans streptococci may be wider than currently anticipated, and Streptococcus mitis may cause septicaemia and hepatitis in immunocompetent individuals.
