Bacillus cereus bacteremia in Crohn's disease with multiple ileal stricture on maintenance azathioprine therapy

Abstract

We describe a case of 36-year-old Japanese man with Crohn's disease, complicated by Bacillus cereus bacteremia on maintenance azathioprine therapy. Although anti-microbial agents were ineffective, the patient became well immediately after a partial resection of the ileum with multiple severe stenosis.
