Abstract
The problem of line-related sepsis in patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant disease remains a major problem in cancer-care even into the third millennium. We report a highly unusual pathogen which represented both a diagnostic and treatment challenge and highlights important issues around patient education as well as laboratory capability in the identification of causative organisms in line-related infections to facilitate clinical management.Entities:
