Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae septicaemia in systemic lupus erythematosus.

We report a case of invasive infection caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae without skin or endocardium involvement in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To our knowledge, this is the first report of an isolated bacteraemia due to this pathogen in a patient with SLE without skin or endocardium involvement. PMID: 30555140 [PubMed - in process]
