Conclusion:
- We report a case of R planticola in an immunocompromised patient. It
is prudent to be aware of this organism as a cause of bacteraemia in
such patients. The organism has been involved in infecting multiple
organ systems.
- Individuals who are immunocompromised, with multiple comorbid
diseases, including malignancy and stage 5 chronic kidney disease are
at risk.
- R planticola infection has a good prognosis if identified early and
treated with the appropriate antibiotics.
