TY - JOUR AU - Cone, Lawrence A. AU - Leung, Millie M. AU - Hirschberg, Joel T1 - Actinomyces Odontolyticus Bacteremia T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2003 VL - 9 IS - 12 SP - 1629 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We describe two immunosuppressed female patients with fever and Actinomyces odontolyticus bacteremia, a combination documented once previously in an immunocompetent male patient. The patients were treated with doxycycline and clindamycin; these drugs, with β-lactams, are effective treatment for A. odontolyticus infections. Further instances of bacteremia may be expected in immunosuppressed patients.
