title: Micrococcus luteus: a putative cause of hepatic abscess?
abstract: Micrococcus luteus was repeatedly isolated in blood cultures during a prolonged feverish syndrome in a patient who presented with multiple hepatic abscesses as well. In contrast to the literature, this case is not related to prosthetic devices; an untreated limb wound may have been the site of microbial entry.
