title: [A case of pleuropneumopathy due to Eikenella corrodens].
abstract: We report the observation of a pleuropneumonia due to Eikenella corrodens in a man of 39 years old suffering from diffuse dilatation of the bronchi. This small micro-aerophilic Gram negative bacillus has rarely been implicated as a cause of pneumonia. It appears that it may often be associated with streptococcal infections and that it becomes a pathogen when the immunity is lowered. Its sensitivity to antibiotics is excellent, particularly vis-à-vis bêta-lactams.
