title: Branhamella catarrhalis septicemia in an infant with AIDS.
abstract: Branhamella catarrhalis was isolated in blood culture from a 6-month-old infant with AIDS. The child had a nasopharyngeal infection with respiratory syncytial virus and pneumonitis with Pneumocystis carinii. Commensal organisms such as B. catarrhalis may be potential pathogens in infants with AIDS.
