Moraxella osloensis Bacteremia Presenting as Abdominal Pain Following Dental Surgery

We report a case of <i>Moraxella osloensis</i> bacteremia in a 66-year-old male presenting with acute abdominal pain and intermittent low-grade fevers following a dental extraction. The patient was diagnosed on return to the emergency department after cultures drawn during an initial visit produced a positive result for the organism on polymerase chain reaction (PCR). He was discharged without complication following admission to the hospital for intravenous antibiotics. Clinically significant <i>M. osloensis</i> infection is rare, and we have not found other reports describing a similar presentation with this organism.
