BACKGROUND
Kocuria species are gram-positive, non-pathogenic commensals. However, in immunocompromised patients such as transplant recipients, cancer patients, or patients with chronic medical conditions, they can cause opportunistic infections.
CASE PRESENTATION
We report the first case of descending necrotizing mediastinitis in a 58-year-old, relatively healthy woman caused by Kocuria rosea.
CONCLUSION
Descending necrotizing mediastinitis due to Kocuria rosea can be successfully treated with prompt surgical drainage combined with antimicrobial therapy.
背景
考克氏菌属是革兰氏阳性非致病性共生菌。然而，在免疫功能低下的患者中，如移植受者、癌症患者或患有慢性疾病的患者，它们可引起机会性感染。
病例报告
我们报告首例由玫瑰色考克氏菌引起的58岁相对健康女性下行性坏死性纵隔炎病例。
结论
玫瑰色考克氏菌引起的下行性坏死性纵隔炎可通过及时的手术引流联合抗菌治疗成功治愈。
