Abstract

Leptotrichia buccalis is rarely implicated in systemic disease. We report two patients with clinically significant L. buccalis bacteremia which developed during the neutropenia secondary to chemotherapy. Based upon our experience, L. buccalis bacteremia should be considered in certain high-risk immunocompromised patients with mucositis and/or gingivitis.
