ABSTRACT
Rothia dentocariosa, a pleomorphic gram-positive branching bacillus, is a common inhabitant of the nose and throat. It is a well-known causative agent of dental plaques and periodontal diseases. Although generally regarded as having a low virulence to humans, R. dentocariosa has been recognized as causative agents of infective endocarditis and bacteremia with increasing frequency. Consequently, it can be a very serious pathogen when isolated from usually sterile sites such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid. We report a case of Rothia dentocariosa bacteremia without endocarditis in a 17-month-old male patient with fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
