This is an unusual report of isolation of Streptobacillus moniliformis from the blood of a male child with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. No history of rat bite was there, but rats were present in the house. The possible source of infection may be food or water contaminated with rat excreta. Whether this bacteria can cause opportunistic infection in leukaemic patients, need to be evaluated further.
这是一份关于从一名患有急性淋巴细胞白血病的男童血液中分离出念珠状链杆菌的罕见报告。患儿没有被老鼠咬伤的病史,但家中有老鼠。感染的可能来源可能是被老鼠排泄物污染的食物或水。这种细菌是否会在白血病患者中引起机会性感染,有待进一步评估。
