title: Planctomycetes DNA in febrile aplastic patients with leukemia, rash, diarrhea, and micronodular pneumonia.
abstract: We found Planctomycetes DNA in 2 out of 100 blood samples from patients suffering from leukemia with neutropenia induced by chemotherapy, as well as fever, rash, pneumonia, and diarrhea. Antibiotic-resisting Planctomycetes may be pathogenic in these patients.
