[Septicemia due to Leptotrichia buccalis in an immuno-suppressed patent (author's transl)]

The authors report a case of septicemia due to Leptotrichia buccalis in a patient with underlying lymphatic leukemia. It is the second case reported in the literature. This observation shows, once again, that bacteria known as "non virulent" can exhibit pathogenicity in immunosuppressed patients.
