Pancreatic abscess with Haemophilus influenzae and Eikenella corrodens. 1976

L I Lutwick

An infected pancreatic pseudocyst was caused in part by Haemophilus influenzae and Eikenella corrodens. To my knowledge, neither organism has been isolated previously from pancreatic abscesses. I believe that the infecting bacteria originated in the oropharynx and descended through the duodenum.
