Shewanella putrefaciens has a wide geographical distribution, including sea- and fresh water, fish and soil, but it is an unusual pathogen in humans. A previously healthy boy without known immunodeficiency presented with fever, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, and a mass in the right lower quadrant. Terminal ileitis was confirmed by MRI and Shewanella putrefaciens was isolated from two separate blood cultures. This is the first report of terminal ileitis associated with Shewanella putrefaciens septicaemia.
腐败希瓦氏菌具有广泛的地理分布，包括海水和淡水、鱼类及土壤，但它在人类中是一种不常见的病原体。一名先前健康、无已知免疫缺陷的男孩出现发热、腹痛和腹泻，且右下腹有肿物。通过磁共振成像（MRI）确诊为末端回肠炎，并且在两份独立的血培养物中分离出了腐败希瓦氏菌。这是首例与腐败希瓦氏菌败血症相关的末端回肠炎报告。
