IntroductionSphingomonas paucimobilis bacteraemia is a rare infection typically related to nosocomial outbreaks.MaterialA 33-year-old immunocompetent man requested evaluation in the Internal Medicine Department for fever without source. His physical examination was normal. Laboratory analysis showed mild hypertransaminasemia. In both blood culture sets grew Gram-negative bacilli, being identified as S. paucimobilis. The patient was treated with oral levofloxacin with full recovery.ConclusionS. paucimobilis infections can occur in the community setting in a relatively non-immunocompromised patient. In a patient with bacteraemia, microbiological studies are crucial to ensure a successful outcome.
