Ochrobactrum anthropi is a rare pathogen in humans that is usually related to infections in immunocompromised patients or people with indwelling medical devices. There are very few reported cases of O. anthropi bacteremia in patients on hemodialysis. We report a 19-year-old female on hemodialysis through a jugular catheter, with fever and malaise lasting one month. The catheter was withdrawn and Ochrobactrum anthropi was isolated from it and from blood cultures. The patient was successfully treated with levofloxacin.
嗜水气单胞菌是人类罕见的病原体，通常与免疫功能低下患者或有植入式医疗设备的人的感染有关。血液透析患者中嗜水气单胞菌菌血症的报道病例非常少。我们报告了一名19岁通过颈静脉导管进行血液透析的女性，发热和不适持续了一个月。拔出导管后，从导管和血培养中分离出嗜水气单胞菌。患者用左氧氟沙星成功治疗。
