title: Francisella philomiragia Bacteremia in a Patient with Acute  Respiratory Insufficiency and Acute-on-Chronic Kidney Disease.
abstract: Francisella philomiragia is a very uncommon pathogen of humans. Diseases caused by it are protean and have been reported largely in near-drowning victims and those with chronic granulomatous disease. We present a case of F. philomiragia pneumonia with peripheral edema and bacteremia in a renal transplant patient and review the diverse reports of F. philomiragia infections.
