ABSTRACT
Probiotics are generally considered safe and used to improve intestinal function. Here, we report a Lacticaseibacillus paracasei bacteremia case in an 8-month-old girl administered probiotics containing L. paracasei after jejunostomy for hypoganglionosis. The patient had persistent bacteremia with L. paracasei and was treated with antimicrobial therapy. The isolate from the blood culture was genetically indistinguishable to the strain contained in probiotics. Bacteremia risk should be considered before probiotic use in patients with underlying compromised immune systems or intestinal integrity.
