Sammanfattning
Actinobaculum schaalii is a small, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, CO2 -requiring rod. It is now an acknowledged uropathogen, but often overlooked because of its slow growth. It is part of the normal bacterial flora in the urogenital area, but can be the cause of both local and invasive infections. We present a case of A. schaalii urosepsis in a 68 year-old male with phimosis caused by a severe lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. The only bacteria found in blood and urine was A. schaalii.
