Resolution of bacteremia without antibiotic therapy in a 16-year-old adolescent with leukemia receiving maintenance chemotherapy.

Herein, we describe the first case of bacteremia, which occurred in a 16-year-old male with dasatinib-induced hemorrhagic colitis during maintenance therapy for leukemia and resolved without antibiotic treatment. bacteremia might be self-limiting, even in immunocompromised patients receiving chemotherapy.
