Neisseria sicca/subflava bacteremia presenting as cutaneous nodules in an immunocompromised host.

Neisseria sicca/subflava are generally considered commensal inhabitants of the human oropharynx. We describe a case of disseminated N. sicca/subflava infection in an immunocompromised 15-year-old male presenting with cutaneous erythematous nodules. Our report adds to the growing evidence that these bacteria can cause disseminated infections, and describes a cutaneous manifestation of disseminated disease with N. sicca/subflava.
