A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaints of fever and fatigue. We initially treated the patient for a tick-borne disease after noticing a pustule on her leg; however, abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed multiple low-density areas in the liver and Chromobacterium violaceum was isolated from a blood culture. We diagnosed her with multiple liver abscesses secondary to Chromobacterium violaceum bacteremia. The patient was successfully treated with ciprofloxacin.
一名69岁女性因发热和乏力为主诉入院。我们在注意到她腿部有一个脓疱后,最初将该患者作为蜱传播疾病进行治疗;然而,腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)显示肝脏有多个低密度区,且血培养分离出紫色色杆菌。我们诊断她为紫色色杆菌菌血症继发的多发性肝脓肿。该患者接受环丙沙星治疗成功。
