Eubacterium bacteremia is rare. We report a senile patient who presented with 3 episodes of bacteremia, caused by Clostridium perfringens, Eubacterium limosum and Escherichia coli, respectively, which led to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the colon. A differential diagnosis of colon cancer should be considered in patients with eubacterium bacteremia.
真杆菌血症较为罕见。我们报告一例老年患者，该患者分别出现了由产气荚膜梭菌、黏液真杆菌和大肠埃希菌引起的3次菌血症发作，最终诊断为结肠癌。对于真杆菌血症患者，应考虑结肠癌的鉴别诊断。
