Septicemia caused by Eikenella corrodens in a previously healthy male: A case report
The present case report highlights that E corrodens should be considered as a cause of septicemia even in healthy individuals. For the avoidance of delayed diagnosis, it is vital to perform blood culture before initiating antibiotic treatment. Furthermore, SCF should be considered as a preferred treatment option for such infections.
