Inguinal lymphadenitis associated with Capnocytophaga bacilli.

C C Johnson 1, J Poupard 1
PMCID: PMC269883  PMID: 1890187

Abstract

Capnocytophaga organisms are capnophilic, gram-negative bacilli that have been associated with infections deriving from the flora of the oropharynx. We report a case of inguinal adenitis caused by Capnocytophaga species that probably represents sexual transmission of the pathogen.
