A case of a male, 17-year-old, X-linked agammaglobulinemia patient with bacteremia caused byVeillonella parvula , without a defined primary site of infection, is presented. The report demonstrates thatV. parvula should not be regarded as a nonpathogenic microorganism, at least not in patients with certain forms of immunodeficiency disease.
