Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive atrophy of nasal mucosa. Cedecea davisae, a rare pathogen, is a new member of Enterobacteriaceae family. In this article, we report a patient with atrophic rhinitis whose culture test revealed Cedecea davisae. The patient was operated due to accompanying posterior ethmoid mucocele. Levofloxacin and nasal irrigation were administered for two months. Significant improvement was observed in patient's complaints and nasal signs at postoperative sixth month. In conclusion, Cedecea davisae has been thought to cause atrophic rhinitis and mucocele in this patient. Patient recovered with simple treatment. These bacteria should be kept in mind as a causative agent for atrophic rhinitis.
萎缩性鼻炎是一种以鼻黏膜进行性萎缩为特征的慢性炎症性疾病。戴氏西地西菌是一种罕见的病原体，是肠杆菌科的新成员。在本文中，我们报告了一名萎缩性鼻炎患者，其培养试验显示为戴氏西地西菌。该患者因伴有后筛窦黏液囊肿而接受手术。给予左氧氟沙星和鼻腔冲洗治疗两个月。术后第六个月，患者的症状和鼻部体征有显著改善。总之，戴氏西地西菌被认为是该患者萎缩性鼻炎和黏液囊肿的病因。患者经简单治疗后康复。应将这些细菌视为萎缩性鼻炎的病原体。
