Neisseria mucosa, a Gram-negative diplococcus, is part of normal nasopharyngeal flora. We report a case of bacteremia caused by N. mucosa in a 50-year-old neutropenic patient suffering from non-secretory multiple myeloma stage IIIA. This case underscores that mostly nonpathogenic N. mucosa can cause bacteremia in neutropenic patients who developed mucositis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
黏膜奈瑟菌,革兰氏阴性双球菌,是鼻咽部正常菌群的一部分。我们报告了一例由黏膜奈瑟菌引起的菌血症,发生于一位 50 岁的中性粒细胞减少的非分泌型多发性骨髓瘤 IIIA 期患者。该病例提示,大多数非致病性的黏膜奈瑟菌可引起造血干细胞移植后发生黏膜炎的中性粒细胞减少患者发生菌血症。
