Abstract: We report a case of septicemia due to Streptococcus gwangjuensis in an immunocompromised 8‐year‐old child. The final diagnosis was febrile neutropenia associated with acute myeloid leukemia and septicemia. The patient was successfully treated with chemotherapy, granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor, leukodepleted packed red cell transfusions, piperacillin/tazobactam, and meropenem. S. gwangjuensis was identified using sodA and gyrB amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing. The isolate was susceptible to all β‐lactam antibiotics.
