Catheter-related bacteremia due to Streptomyces in a patient receiving holistic infusions.

Abstract

Streptomyces species are rare causes of invasive infection in humans. We report the first documented case of a catheter-associated bacteremia due to Streptomyces. The most likely source of infection was unlicensed, injectable holistic preparations that the patient had received. We review reported cases of invasive infections caused by Streptomyces and comment on the potential infectious complications of parenteral holistic treatments.
