Abstract

Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a gram-negative bacillus that can cause outbreaks in Hematology and Oncology units where most patients are immunosuppressed hosts. We describe here two cases of S. paucimobilis bacteremia with hematologic malignancy; one of them was primary and the other secondary to pneumonia.

Özet

Sphingomonas paucimobilis hastanelerde özellikle de immünsüprese hastaların takip edildiği hematoloji ve onkoloji ünitelerinde salgınlara yol açabilen gram-negatif bir basildir. Bu çalışmada farklı zamanlarda iki hematolojik maligniteli olguda ortaya çıkan, biri primer diğeri pnömoniye sekonder olduğunu düşündüğümüz S. paucimobilis kaynaklı iki nozokomiyal bakteremi olgusu sunulmuştur.
