We experienced a case of a 3-year-old boy who presented signs and symptoms of Kawasaki syndrome. Two blood culture sets were processed by the hospital microbiology laboratory using a standard blood culturing system. The anaerobic bottles gave a positive result at day 3 after inoculation. The biochemical profiles produced by the RapID ANA II System showed that the organism was Clostridium baratii with a probability of 99%. Our case highlights the importance of C. baratii as a potential human pathogen and reports the associations with manifestations, which, to our knowledge, have not been previously described concomitantly with a clostridial infection.
我们遇到一例3岁男孩，表现出川崎综合征的体征和症状。医院微生物实验室使用标准血液培养系统处理了两套血培养标本。厌氧瓶在接种后第3天呈阳性结果。RapID ANA II系统产生的生化图谱显示，该微生物为巴氏梭菌，概率为99%。我们的病例突出了巴氏梭菌作为潜在人类病原体的重要性，并报告了其与临床表现的关联，据我们所知，此前尚未有与梭菌感染同时描述的相关报道。
