Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a gram-negative bacterial species hosted in the oral cavity of dogs. C. canimorsus can cause sepsis, meningitis and endocarditis. Penicillin is the drug of choice. However, the species is a slow-grower and sometimes missed in blood cultures. Patients with a history of alcoholism, splenectomy or immunodeficiency are at an increased risk of contracting serious infections with C. canimorsus following dog bites. We report a case story of C. canimorsus meningitis contracted after a dog bite.
犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌是一种寄生于狗口腔中的革兰氏阴性细菌。犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌可导致败血症、脑膜炎和心内膜炎。青霉素是首选药物。然而，该菌种生长缓慢，有时在血培养中会被漏检。有酗酒、脾切除或免疫缺陷病史的患者在被狗咬伤后感染犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌引发严重感染的风险会增加。我们报告一例狗咬伤后感染犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌脑膜炎的病例。
