Abstract

Leuconostoc sepsis is more commonly described in extreme of ages with risk factors of infection such as prematurity, individuals with gastrointestinal processes, needing parenteral nutrition, carrying central venous catheters, prolonged antibiotic therapy and immunosuppression. We report the case of a previously healthy 22 days old female with no risk factors that developed Leuconostoc sepsis.
