Bacillus cereus infection is rarely associated with actual infection and for this reason single positive blood culture is usually regarded as contamination . However it may cause a number of infections, such catheter-related bloodstream infections. Significant catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) caused by Bacillus spp. are mainly due to B. cereus and have been predominantly reported in immunocompromised hosts. Catheter removal is generally advised for management of infection. In this report, catheter-related bacteremia caused by B. cereus in a patient with acute lymphoblast c leukemia (ALL) in Istanbul Medical Faculty was presented.
蜡样芽胞杆菌感染很少与实际感染有关,因此通常认为单个阳性血培养为污染。然而,它可能引起多种感染,如导管相关血流感染。由芽孢杆菌引起的有意义的导管相关血流感染(CRBSI)主要是由蜡样芽胞杆菌引起的,主要发生在免疫功能低下的宿主中。一般建议拔除导管以进行感染的处理。本报告介绍了伊斯坦布尔医科大学一位急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者由蜡样芽胞杆菌引起的导管相关菌血症。
