Περίληψη:
Bacteremia due to Plesiomonas shigelloides was associated with rapidly fulminant septicemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and massive adrenal hemorrhage in a splenectomized patient suffering from thalassemia intermedia who was treated with hydroxyurea. P. shigelloides was isolated in blood cultures; despite a vigorous combination of antibiotics the patient died after 24 h in the ICU. Lethal sepsis due to P. shigelloides has not previously been reported in Greece.
