Roseomonas are a gram-negative bacteria species that have been isolated from environmental sources. Human Roseomonas infections typically occur in immunocompromised patients, most commonly as catheter-related bloodstream infections. However, Roseomonas infections are rarely reported in immunocompetent hosts. We report what we believe to be the first case in Korea of infectious spondylitis with bacteremia due to Roseomonas mucosa in an immunocompetent patient who had undergone vertebroplasty for compression fractures of his thoracic and lumbar spine.
玫瑰单胞菌是一类革兰氏阴性细菌,已从环境来源中分离出来。人类玫瑰单胞菌感染通常发生在免疫功能低下的患者中,最常见的是与导管相关的血流感染。然而,在免疫功能正常的宿主中很少报告玫瑰单胞菌感染。我们报告了韩国首例免疫功能正常的患者因黏膜玫瑰单胞菌感染导致感染性脊柱炎并伴有菌血症的病例,该患者因胸腰椎压缩性骨折接受了椎体成形术。
