Fatal hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by infection due to Kytococcus sedentarius--a pathogen or passenger? Annals of hematology, 2004, Volume: 83, Issue:7 A 55-year old man developed a hemorrhagic pneumonia, likely due to infection with Kytococcus sedentarius during neutropenia following induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia. Severe mucosal barrier injury and the selective pressure of broad-spectrum antibiotics probably made it possible for this normally harmless commensal to penetrate the gut, spread through the blood stream, and invade the lungs.
