Abstract EN
Streptococcus thoraltensis has mainly been reported to cause infections in animals.
Its clinical significance as a human pathogen has not yet been fully elucidated and needs further investigation.
We describe here a case of bacteremia attributed to S.
thoraltensis in a 55-year-old female patient admitted to our department due to fever of unknown origin.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of S.
thoraltensis bacteremia in a human and the first reported case of S.
thoraltensis as a cause of fever of unknown origin in human.
