Bacteremia and subcutaneous abscess caused by Proteus penneri in a neutropenic host.

Clinical Microbiology Laboratories, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, New York.

ABSTRACT

Proteus penneri bacteremia and concomitant subcutaneous infection developed in a neutropenic patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia. The skin infection occurred while the patient was being treated empirically with cefoperazone and metronidazole. This case demonstrates the invasive potential of this microorganism in the proper setting.
