Her main medical history was a mixed connective tissue disease (Sjögren's syndrome) associated to natural killer (NK) cell deficiency. The Sjögren's syndrome had been diagnosed seven years earlier because of strong clinical symptoms associated to positive anti-Ro, anti-La and anti-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antibodies.

An acute renal failure was biologically evidenced. The patient was directly transferred to the ICU where she was intubated and mechanically ventilated. Diagnostic assessment disclosed a type II cryoglobulinemia with consumption of the complement components and positive anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies. Renal biopsy showed a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated to vascular lesions. An immunosuppressive treatment was started due to the renal cryoglobulinemic vasculitis: high dose corticotherapy including 3 boluses of methylprednisolone (1<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g) then replaced by prednisolone (0.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/kg) associated to weekly infusion of rituximab (375<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g/m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span>) during four weeks.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The infectious complete checking performed at admission in the ICU (blood cultures, pleural fluid, and urine culture) resulted negative.

Other blood cultures performed on D6 because of a hectic fever were positive to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Veillonella parvula</span>. The antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin lasted 10 days in total. Both bacteremic episodes had no clinical consequences and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) ruled out endocarditis. Following both bacteremias, tooth brushing was discontinued on D7 until discharge on D43. Mouthwashing with chlorhexidine was maintained. No other bacteremia occurred during the hospitalization (seven blood cultures performed between D7 and discharge).</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Mouth has a rich saprophytic flora mainly composed by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Streptococcus viridans, Neisseria sp., Haemophilus sp.</span> and anaerobes from the salivary flora.

Dental plaque is then a breeding ground for potential virulent germs. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Parvimonas micra</span> also called <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Micromonas micros</span> is an anaerobic Gram positive coccus belonging to oral and intestinal commensal florae.

The role of tooth brushing is not clear and the studies have diverging results. Rello et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> suggested its efficacy showing a tendency for VAP decrease. On the opposite, more studies<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–7</span></a> showed neither significant decrease of the risk of VAP, nor a decrease of morbidity–mortality or length of stay for the patients receiving tooth brushing. Tooth brushing can cause bacteremia even in healthy individuals.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> The gingiva being highly vascularized, the irritation induced by the toothbrush can enable bacteria to go to the systemic circulation. In healthy individuals, bacteremias can be qualified as transient. They occur frequently and have no infectious and clinical consequences as the bacteria are rapidly eliminated. On another hand, immunocompromised patients and especially intubated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients are at high risk of infections. In particular, septicemia could result in complications such as endocarditis, spondyloscitis or visceral abscesses.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Oral care in healthy individuals is based on tooth brushing. Since oral care proved its efficacy in VAP prevention, it could seem right to brush the teeth of ICU patients as well. Nevertheless, most studies do not prove the superiority of the association of tooth brushing and mouthwashing with chlorhexidine compared to mouthwashing alone. Despite the lack of evidence, tooth brushing remains a common practice which tends to increase with the introduction of new devices such as single-use suction toothbrushes. These toothbrushes are supposed to be more efficient on removing dental plaque and sucking out debris and secretions while being less traumatic.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This case report confirms that tooth brushing can cause bacteremias that are transient and harmless in healthy individuals, but can result in infections in immunocompromised patients. Since it is increasingly used in the ICU despite this risk, the benefit–risk ratio of tooth brushing associated to conventional oral care with chlorhexidine in the prevention of VAP must be carefully reconsidered.</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Authors’ contribution</span><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">ML, BF (1) acquisition and interpretation of data and (2) article drafting; EB, OB, MM (1) acquisition of data and (2) article revision.
