A 41-year-old man visited his doctor in May 2000 because of a sore throat and high fever. His symptoms did not improve, despite administration of antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Since a chest X-ray examination revealed an anterior mediastinal bulky tumor, he was referred and admitted to our hospital on June 21, 2000. The peripheral white blood cell count was 44,540/microliter with 74% myeloblasts. Bone marrow aspiration revealed a hypercellular marrow with 82% myeloblasts, which were negative for peroxidase and alpha-naphthyl butylate esterase staining. Blast cells were positive for CD7, CD13, CD33, CD34, and HLA-DR, and negative for CD56. A needle biopsy specimen of the mediastinal tumor consisted of myeloblasts. We diagnosed the patient as having CD7 (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (M0) with a bulky mediastinal mass based on the surface marker analysis, although the clinical features resembled myeloid/NK precursor acute leukemia. The patient achieved a complete remission after two courses of induction therapy. We are planning an allogeneic stem cell transplantation during his first remission because of the high risk of relapse.

Bacillus cereus is an aerobic Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that is responsible for foodborne illnesses. We report on a 15-year-old girl with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who fell into a somnolent state after presenting with a 12-hour history of fever, muscle soreness, myalgia in both calves, sore throat, and vomiting. Fulminant septicemic syndrome caused by B. cereus was finally identified. The aim of this work is the introduction of B. cereus as a differential diagnosis of sepsis in patients with acute leukemia in induction chemotherapy, to prevent delayed treatment.
