BACKGROUND: @entity5125 is a facultative intracellular parasitic bacterium that is Gram positive, catalase positive, oxidase negative, and a facultative anaerobe. It is known to infect @entity1 through food. It is a bacillus with low virulence, but can cause @entity693 and @entity295 in @entity1 and immunocompromised @entity1 . CASE PRESENTATION: A case of 75-year-old Japanese female with @entity4153 is described. She was treated with @entity3003 and @entity2879 and showed a partial response. However, the @entity5 recurred 6  months later. Therefore, we again administered @entity3003 and @entity2879 . Though peritoneal dissemination was suspected based on abdominal computed tomography findings after two courses, the assessment was stable disease. She was occasionally treated for @entity1142 . She developed chills, rigor, and @entity294 , necessitating admission on the 7th day of the third course of chemotherapy. We suspected @entity281 , and @entity6944 was thus administered. However, her blood pressure dropped and @entity1398 manifested on the 4th day of admission. We therefore switched the antibiotic from @entity6944 to @entity2889 and also administered @entity1261 . @entity5125 was detected by two blood cultures, and the antimicrobial medication was thus switched to @entity869 , in consideration of sensitivity. Her general condition improved and she was able to leave the hospital on the 19th day after admission. CONCLUSIONS: During chemotherapy, factors such as @entity717 , @entity3147 , and myeloablation can contribute to the development of severe @entity281 . It is necessary to comprehensively assess a @entity1 's state and treat all aspects of illness.

@entity295 caused by XXXX during chemotherapy for small cell carcinoma of the thymus.
