The case is reported of a patient who developed an acute arthropathy, which was initially diagnosed as acute septic arthritis. The true diagnosis of rat bite fever due to Streptobacillus moniliformis was delayed because of difficulty in growing the organism, which has fastidious growth requirements. The patient had no history of rat bite, which is the usual form of transmission of this disease.
报告了一例出现急性关节病的患者,该病最初被诊断为急性化脓性关节炎。由于念珠状链杆菌生长要求苛刻,难以培养,导致因该菌引起的鼠咬热的确诊被延误。该患者没有鼠咬史,而鼠咬是这种疾病通常的传播形式。
