Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative coccobacillus, which causes respiratory infection in dogs, rabbits, and pigs, and is rarely a human pulmonary pathogen. We present 2 immunocompromised patients diagnosed with B. bronchiseptica pneumonia. To our knowledge, these are the first reports of this disease in patients with B-cell lymphoma and an orthotopic cardiac transplant. In this report, we briefly discuss the epidemiology, microbiology, and challenges in the laboratory identification of B. bronchiseptica and describe the protean imaging manifestations of this rare pulmonary infection. We also address issues related to treatment and prognosis.
支气管败血波氏杆菌是一种革兰氏阴性球杆菌，可引起犬、兔和猪的呼吸道感染，很少成为人类肺部病原体。我们报告了 2 例免疫功能低下的患者被诊断为支气管败血波氏杆菌肺炎。据我们所知，这是首例报道的 B 细胞淋巴瘤和原位心脏移植患者患此病。在本报告中，我们简要讨论了支气管败血波氏杆菌的流行病学、微生物学和实验室鉴定方面的挑战，并描述了这种罕见肺部感染的多态性影像学表现。我们还讨论了与治疗和预后相关的问题。
