We report the case of a 56-y-old male admitted with a left-sided post-pneumonic empyema. Clostridium sordellii DNA was directly detected in its pleural fluid by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR, after 24 h of specimen collection. This is the third case of pleural infection caused by C. sordellii in the literature.
我们报告了一例56岁男性因左侧肺炎后脓胸入院的病例。在采集标本24小时后，通过广谱16S rRNA聚合酶链反应在其胸腔积液中直接检测到索氏梭菌DNA。这是文献中第三例由索氏梭菌引起的胸膜感染病例。
