ABSTRACT
Raoultella planticola is a gram-negative, encapsulated, aerobic bacterium within the Enterobacteriaceae family. It has been primarily described as pathogen in cases with pneumonia and gastrointestinal infections. Here we describe a case of severe pelvic cellulitis in a patient with neutropenia following induction therapy for myeloid sarcoma. The patient experienced a septic shock and was treated successfully with antibiotic therapy. A literature review is provided to put this case in context with previous reports on R. planticola. This report highlights that awareness for uncommon pathogens is crucial in the clinical management of infections in neutropenic patients.
