Overwhelming Pneumococcal Bacteremia Revealed by a Peripheral Blood Smear In a 74-year-old Healthy Woman

A 76-year-old woman, who had never been seriously ill, was admitted to our hospital with fever and shaking chills. She progressively developed septic shock. We detected Streptococcus pneumoniae in a routine examination of a Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smear. Despite intensive care with antibiotic therapy, she died within several hours after admission. A peripheral blood smear occasionally shows bacteria in cases of overwhelming septicemia, thus indicating a severe impairment of splenic function. We suggest that, in cases of severe septicemia, an examination of a peripheral blood smear is therefore useful for the rapid detection of organisms in comparison to a traditional blood culture.
