Kocuria kristinae is a gram-positive coccus of the family of Micrococcaceae. It inhabits the skin and mucous and human oropharynx and some mammals. Clinical cases of proven infections are scarce, affecting patients with indwelling devices and severe underlying diseases. We report two unusual case of a K. kristinae infection in a hemodialysis. First is a case of bacteremia associated with permanent hemodialysis catheter in a 20-year-old female; and second is a case of acute peritonitis in a 68-year-old male patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. A review of other reported K. kristinae infections is provided.
科氏葡萄球菌是微球菌科的革兰氏阳性球菌。它存在于皮肤、黏膜、人类口腔以及一些哺乳动物体内。经证实的感染临床病例很少,感染对象为有植入装置和严重基础疾病的患者。我们报告两例血液透析中不常见的科氏葡萄球菌感染病例。第一例是一名20岁女性因永久性血液透析导管引发的菌血症;第二例是一名68岁男性患者在持续非卧床腹膜透析时发生的急性腹膜炎。本文还对其他已报道的科氏葡萄球菌感染病例进行了综述。
