Human intestinal spirochaetosis is a well-established micro-organism existing in the colon. It is less commonly seen in the appendix, and rarely presents as acute appendicitis. We present a case of a man presenting with symptoms consistent with acute appendicitis. The literature on spirochaetosis presenting as acute appendicitis is also reviewed.
人类肠道螺旋体病是一种在结肠中存在的已明确的微生物。在阑尾中较少见,很少表现为急性阑尾炎。我们报告一例表现出与急性阑尾炎相符症状的男性病例。同时也对表现为急性阑尾炎的螺旋体病相关文献进行了综述。
