Clostridium hathewayi and Campylobacter hominis have not been previously reported in infection. We report a fatal case of septicemia, massive intravascular hemolysis, shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation; both of these organisms were recovered on blood culture, although it seems likely that the C. hathewayi was responsible for the clinical picture and that the C. hominis was an incidental finding.
