Actinomyces odontolyticus bacteremia.
We describe two immunosuppressed female patients with fever and Actinomyces odontolyticus bacteremia, a combination documented once previously in an immunocompetent male patient.

The organism was identified on the basis of morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics. On histological examination, the tissue mass contained several granulomatous foci with small, basophilic staining areas resembling microscopic sulfur granules. This is believed to be the first rep...
