Abstract

We describe a case of Staphylococcus aureus sepsis after acupuncture for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Sepsis is a rare, but potentially fatal complication of acupuncture. The most common cause of bacterial infection after acupuncture is S. aureus. The effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of CFS is not proven, therefore the potential benefits should be weighed against the risks.

摘要

我们描述了一例因针刺治疗慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）后发生金黄色葡萄球菌败血症的病例。败血症是针刺治疗罕见但可能致命的并发症。针刺后细菌感染最常见的原因是金黄色葡萄球菌。针刺治疗CFS的有效性尚未得到证实，因此应权衡潜在益处与风险。
