probiotic agents are increasingly used as over the counter drugs for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory and infectious conditions. The rationale of their use seems to restore a friendly bacterial flora in the gut. Complications of probiotic use, although rarely reported, can occur.
we describe the case of a 54-year-old diabetic woman, who developed Lactobacillus rhamnosus septicemia while she was using probiotic oral treatment. Lactobacillus is a major component of probiotic agents. Her infection resolved after amoxicilline administration.
this case highlights the complication of probiotic use, and perhaps the patient's predispositions to develop such complications.
益生菌制剂越来越多地被用作非处方药物,用于治疗各种炎症和感染性疾病。使用它们的基本原理似乎是恢复肠道内友好的细菌菌群。虽然益生菌使用的并发症很少被报道,但仍可能发生。
我们描述了一名54岁糖尿病女性的病例,她在接受益生菌口服治疗时发生了鼠李糖乳杆菌败血症。乳杆菌是益生菌制剂的主要成分。给予阿莫西林治疗后,她的感染得到了缓解。
该病例突出了益生菌使用的并发症,以及患者发生此类并发症的易感性。
