The incidence of lung abscess caused by Serratia marcescens is extremely low and is only reported in the immunocompromised population. We present a previously healthy woman with Serratia lung abscess in close proximity with an accessory cardiac bronchus. The patient was treated with appropriate antibiotics which led to complete resolution of the lesion. Our case highlights that individuals without medical co-morbidities may develop atypical lung infections like Serratia when associated with anatomic anomalies.
粘质沙雷氏菌引起的肺脓肿发病率极低，仅在免疫功能低下人群中有报道。我们报告了一名既往健康的女性，患有与副心支气管相邻的粘质沙雷氏菌肺脓肿。患者接受了适当的抗生素治疗，病变完全消退。我们的病例强调，无内科合并症的个体在伴有解剖学异常时可能发生如粘质沙雷氏菌感染等非典型肺部感染。
