Abstract EN
Neisseria lactamica, a commensal, has been very rarely reported to cause diseases in immunocompromised hosts.
In medical literature, there is only one report of a cavitatory lung lesion caused by it.
The patient was a kidney transplant recipient.
Neisseria lactamica was found to be the cause of his pulmonary cavity and a desquamating rash on feet.
With the rapidly spreading medical advance, more and more patients are getting organ transplants, so the population of immunocompromised people is on the rise.
We expect more sinister and less expected organisms to cause diseases in patients who have organ transplants.
