Rothia dentocariosa septicaemia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and toxic granulocytopenia.
Rothia dentocariosa is part of the human oral flora and has only rarely been reported as a cause of clinical infection. We report the isolation of Rothia dentocariosa from the blood of a septicaemic patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and bone marrow depression following treatment with clomipramine and zuclopentixol.
