We have repeatedly detected Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis, a bacterium first described in Rattus norvegicus rats and Ixodes ovatus ticks in Japan in 2004 in the blood of a 61-year-old man with signs of septicemia by 16S rRNA and groEL gene PCR. After 6 weeks of therapy with doxycycline and rifampin, the patient recovered.
我们曾多次在血液中检测到 2004 年在日本首次描述的候选嗜吞噬细胞无形体,这是一种存在于挪威褐家鼠和日本革螨中的细菌。该患者为 61 岁男性,有败血症的迹象,16S rRNA 和 groEL 基因 PCR 检测呈阳性。经过 6 周的多西环素和利福平治疗后,患者痊愈。
