Abstract

Invasive infection and extraintestinal complications are rarely caused by Plesiomonas shigelloides, a waterborne bacterium implicated in gastroenteritis. Recent evidence from several reports suggests its importance in causing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of P shigelloides bacteremia and epididymo-orchitis in a patient with HIV infection and chronic hepatitis C. This case illustrates a novel site of involvement by P shigelloides and underscores its role as an opportunistic pathogen.

摘要

类志贺邻单胞菌是一种与肠胃炎有关的水传播细菌，很少引起侵袭性感染和肠外并发症。几份报告的最新证据表明，它在免疫功能低下宿主中引起机会性感染方面具有重要性。我们报告了一例感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和慢性丙型肝炎患者发生类志贺邻单胞菌菌血症和附睾睾丸炎的病例。该病例说明了类志贺邻单胞菌新的受累部位，并强调了其作为机会性病原体的作用。
