Streptococcus agalactiae is an important cause of invasive infections in neonates and is emerging as an important pathogen in elderly females. S. agalactiae is a commensal organism of the female genital tract; however, isolation from the uterine cavity suggests ascending infection of this organism caused by occlusion of the uterine cavity. We report a case of S. agalactiae causing pyometra in an elderly female with cervical cancer.
无乳链球菌是新生儿侵袭性感染的重要病因,并且正成为老年女性中的一种重要病原体。无乳链球菌是女性生殖道的一种共生菌;然而,从子宫腔分离出该菌提示这种菌因子宫腔阻塞而发生上行感染。我们报告一例无乳链球菌在一名患有宫颈癌的老年女性中引起子宫积脓的病例。
