Abstract

Rat bite fever has not been reported from Kenya previously. A case of 17 year old Kenyan male who was diagnosed to have rat bite fever after a bite of domestic rat is described. The history, clinical features and demonstration of spirillum like organisms from a thick blood film suggest infection due to spirillum minus. The patient recovered completely after a course of penicillin and gentamicin.

摘要

肯尼亚此前未曾报告过鼠咬热病例。本文描述了一名17岁肯尼亚男性，在被家鼠咬伤后被诊断患有鼠咬热。其病史、临床特征以及厚血涂片显示的螺旋状微生物表明感染了小螺菌。该患者在接受青霉素和庆大霉素治疗一个疗程后完全康复。
