Gemella morbillorum, a Gram-positive coccus, is a natural inhabitant of the human oropharyngeal, upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Human infections caused by this organism are rare. We describe a case of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis due to G. morbillorum in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving steroid therapy. The patient responded well to antibiotics, without removal of the peritoneal catheter.
麻疹孪生球菌是一种革兰氏阳性球菌，是人类口咽、上呼吸道和胃肠道的自然寄居菌。由该菌引起的人类感染较为罕见。我们描述了一例在接受类固醇治疗的系统性红斑狼疮患者中，由麻疹孪生球菌引起的与腹膜透析相关的腹膜炎病例。该患者对抗生素反应良好，未拔除腹膜导管。
