BRAVO-OJEDA, Juan; GOMEZ-QUINTERO, Carlos; PESCADOR-VARGAS, Luz  e  SUAREZ-TIRADO, Jenifer. Clostridium sordellii bacteremia in a patient with gastrointestinal neoplasia. Case report and review of the literatura. Infect. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp.133-137. ISSN 0123-9392.  https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v24i2.846.

Clostridium sordellii bacteriemia is infrequent and usually comes from infections of gynecological and puerperal etiology, with mortality near 70%. There are few tools for rapid and timely diagnosis. Thus, treatment experience for this pathogen is very limited in other scenarios, which is probably the cause of high mortality rates. We describe a patient with a history of expansive abdominal mass, diagnosed with metastasic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST), with Clostridium sordellii bacteremia.
