Abstract

Bacteremia - microbiology Burkitt Lymphoma - complications Child Female Gingivitis, Necrotizing Ulcerative - microbiology Gingivitis, Necrotizing Ulcerative - virology Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections - etiology Herpes Simplex - etiology Humans Opportunistic Infections - etiology Stenotrophomonas maltophilia - isolation & purification
An 8-year-old girl with leukemia developed acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and herpes simplex virus. Progression to bacteremia with pathologic evidence of osteomyelitis occurred despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition, debridement and appropriate therapy in immunocompromised patients with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.
