Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Jun;109(6):479. doi: 10.17235/reed.2017.4592/2016.

Abstract

The bacterium Raoultella planticola (R planticola) is a rare pathogen in humans. We report a case of mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) of biliary origin with cholangitis and bacteremia with R planticola in association with pancreatic panniculitis (PP). We present the case report of a 55-year-old woman.
