Veillonella species is a gram-negative coccus which is part of the anaerobic normal flora in the oral cavity, small intestine, upper respiratory tract, vagina, and urinary tract. The role that this organism plays in infection is not well known, and it is generally associated with other bacteria. We present a case of bilateral abscessed orchiepididymitis associated with septicemia due to Veillonella parvula and, later, to Clostridium perfringens, with the development of severe renal insufficiency and septic shock, which resolved favorably with antibiotic therapy, treatment of shock, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In reviewing the literature, we have not found any other case of sepsis due to Veillonella sp. associated with urological disorders.
韦荣球菌属是一种革兰氏阴性球菌，是口腔、小肠、上呼吸道、阴道和泌尿道厌氧正常菌群的一部分。该菌在感染中所起的作用尚不清楚，通常与其他细菌有关。我们报告一例因小韦荣球菌，后又因产气荚膜梭菌导致双侧附睾睾丸炎伴脓肿形成并伴有败血症的病例，患者出现了严重的肾功能不全和感染性休克，经抗生素治疗、休克治疗和高压氧治疗后病情好转。在查阅文献时，我们未发现任何其他因韦荣球菌属导致的败血症合并泌尿系统疾病的病例。
