We describe a case and summarize six additional cases of cervical lymphadenitis in otherwise healthy adults caused by Mycobacterium haemophilum. The organism causes cervicofacial lymphadenitis in healthy children and severe disease in immunocompromised patients but has not been previously reported to cause cervical lymphadenitis in nonimmunocompromised, healthy adults.
我们描述了一例病例,并总结了另外六例由嗜血分枝杆菌引起的健康成年人的颈部淋巴结炎。该病原体可导致健康儿童发生颈面部淋巴结炎,并可导致免疫功能低下患者发生严重疾病,但之前尚未有报道称其可导致非免疫功能低下的健康成年人发生颈部淋巴结炎。
