An 8-year-old girl with leukemia developed acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and herpes simplex virus. Progression to bacteremia with pathologic evidence of osteomyclitis occurred despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition, debridement and appropriate therapy in immunocomproinised patients with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.
