We report on a case of recurrent bacteremia due to three Bacillus spp. in an immunocompetent patient with no history of intravenous drug use. The source of the organisms was postulated to be a self-injected compound containing Bacillus spores, given the patient's past history of psychiatric illness and self-destructive behavior.
我们报告一例免疫功能正常、无静脉吸毒史的患者因三种芽孢杆菌属细菌导致复发性菌血症的病例。鉴于患者既往有精神疾病和自我毁灭行为史,推测这些细菌的来源是一种自行注射的含有芽孢杆菌孢子的化合物。
