Granulicatella adiacens, a recent taxonomic addition, is a commensal organism of the oral, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts and is rarely encountered in the orbit and eye.
We present a 46-year-old Caucasian woman with chronic dacryocystitis who underwent an external dacryocystorhinostomy and was found to have G. adiacens.
This is an unusual causative organism isolated in the nasolacrimal system and, to our knowledge, the first reported case of chronic dacryocystitis associated with G. adiacens.
毗邻颗粒链菌是一种最近新分类的菌种,是口腔、胃肠道和泌尿生殖道的共生菌,在眼眶和眼部很少见。
我们报告一名46岁患有慢性泪囊炎的白人女性,她接受了外路泪囊鼻腔吻合术,术中发现有毗邻颗粒链菌。
这是在鼻泪系统中分离出的一种不常见的病原体,据我们所知,这是首例报道的与毗邻颗粒链菌相关的慢性泪囊炎病例。
