Polymicrobial Bacteremia With Actinomyces odontolyticus , Fusobacterium and Atopobium parvulum Secondary to Septic Thrombophlebitis in an Immunocompetent Patient

A 25-year-old immunocompetent man was found to have polymicrobial bacteremia secondary to a right arm septic thrombus. His blood cultures grew Actinomyces odontolyticus , Fusobacterium and Atopobium parvulum . Co-infections with these three bacteria are rarely documented and this is the first known reported case of thrombophlebitis associated with these bacteria.
