Pancreatic necrosis infection due to Lactobacillus paracasei in an immunocompetent patient
2005
An immunocompetent patient recovering from gallstone-induced pancreatitis had to be readmitted due to abdominal pain, fever, and rapid deterioration. Computed tomography guided needle aspiration established the diagnosis of pancreatic necrosis infection; microbiological investigations revealed monoinfection with Lactobacillus paracasei subspecies tolerans. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a pancreatic necrosis infection due to L. paracasei in an immunocompetent patient without any known risk factors for Lactobacillus infections.
