Scoping review about bacteremia due to Kocuria rosea with embolic manifestations in an immunocompetent patient: a case report and review of literature
It is important to highlight that bacteremia caused by Kocuria rosea should be suspected not only in immunocompromised patients but now also in immunocompetent individuals, as demonstrated by the case presented. Therefore, it should be recognized by primary care, emergency, and hospital medical staff. There is little information in literature, and with this case report we hope to contribute to the knowledge of this topic and continue delving into this infection. This study adhered to ethical guidelines, received the necessary institutional approvals, and obtained the patient's informed consent.
