The patients with hematologic malignancies are predisposed to develop infections with unusual bacteria, like Burkholderia cepacia, which is frequently resistant to many antibiotics and antiseptics. We present the case of a female patient with acute myeloid leukemia type 2 on the background of myelodysplastic syndrome, from whom Burkholderia cepacia was isolated in blood culture, after the 2(nd) cycle of induction. She was sensitive to ceftazidime, but its eradication was not easy. Five other patients were contaminated with this bacteria, but all of them had favourable evolution. The case is discussed in the context of those similar in literature.
血液恶性肿瘤患者易发生不常见细菌感染,如伯克霍尔德菌属,该菌通常对许多抗生素和防腐剂具有耐药性。我们报告了一例 2 型急性髓系白血病伴骨髓增生异常综合征患者的病例,该患者在诱导第 2 周期后从血培养中分离出伯克霍尔德菌属。她对头孢他啶敏感,但清除并不容易。另外 5 名患者也被这种细菌污染,但他们的病情均有好转。本文结合文献中类似的病例进行了讨论。
