We report acute tetraplegia caused by rat bite fever in a 59-year old man (snake keeper) and transmission of Streptobacillus moniliformis. We found an identical characteristic bacterial pattern in rat and human samples, which validated genotyping-based evidence for infection with the same strain, and identified diagnostic difficulties concerning infection with this microorganism.
我们报告了一名59岁男性(蛇类饲养员)因鼠咬热导致急性四肢瘫以及念珠状链杆菌的传播情况。我们在大鼠和人类样本中发现了相同的特征性细菌模式,这证实了基于基因分型的证据,表明感染的是同一菌株,并确定了关于这种微生物感染的诊断困难。
