We report a fatal case of Brucella suis endocarditis initially misdiagnosed by automated identification systems as Ochrobactrum anthropi infection in a patient with a history of Marfan syndrome and recreational feral swine hunting. This report emphasizes the need to consider brucellosis as a part of the differential diagnosis of acute febrile illness, particularly in patients with known risk of exposure.
我们报告了一例布鲁氏菌病猪亚种心内膜炎的致死病例,该病例最初被自动识别系统误诊为奥克霍布鲁克氏菌感染,患者有马凡综合征病史且爱好猎捕野猪。本报告强调了在急性发热性疾病的鉴别诊断中需要考虑布鲁氏菌病,特别是在已知有暴露风险的患者中。
