Branhamella catarrhalis was isolated from sputum, tracheal secretions, and a nonhealing and infected thoracic surgical wound in a 59-year-old woman who had a history of a chronic, interstitial fibrosis and who had undergone an open lung biopsy procedure. The patient's upper respiratory tract was the likely source of the organism. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a wound infection caused by B. catarrhalis.
从一名59岁女性的痰液、气管分泌物以及一个不愈合且感染的胸外科手术伤口中分离出了卡他布兰汉菌。该女性有慢性间质性纤维化病史,曾接受过开胸肺活检手术。患者的上呼吸道可能是该病菌的来源。据我们所知,这是首例由卡他布兰汉菌引起的伤口感染报告。
