In Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, we identified 38 hospitalized patients with Streptococcus suis infection during 2006-2012. Deafness developed in 12 patients; none died. Thirty-five reported recent exposure to pigs/pork. Annual incidence was 0.1-2.2 cases/100,000 population (0.2-3.2 in persons ≥20 years of age). Clinicians should consider S. suis infection in areas where pig exposure is common.
在泰国那空拍侬府,我们在2006年至2012年期间确定了38例住院的猪链球菌感染患者。12名患者出现了耳聋症状,无人死亡。35人报告近期接触过猪/猪肉。年发病率为每10万人0.1 - 2.2例(20岁及以上人群为0.2 - 3.2例)。在猪接触较为普遍的地区,临床医生应考虑猪链球菌感染。
