We report the case of a 69-year-old man admitted for septic shock secondary to necrotic pneumoniae complicated by thoracic empyema of fatal issue. Microbiological examination of pleural liquid revealed a mixed anaerobic flora involving Campylobacter rectus and Actinomyces meyeri. Campylobacter rectus is an infrequent anaerobic pathogen of oral origin To our knowledge, this is the first case report of fatal C. rectus - associated thoracic empyema, and only the second reported case in which identification was successfully performed by MALDI-TOF MS.
我们报告了一例69岁男性患者,因坏死性肺炎继发感染性休克并伴有致命性胸腔积脓入院。胸腔积液的微生物学检查显示存在包括直肠弯曲菌和迈耶放线菌的混合厌氧菌菌群。直肠弯曲菌是一种罕见的源自口腔的厌氧病原体。据我们所知,这是首例关于致命性直肠弯曲菌相关胸腔积脓的病例报告,也是第二例通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)成功鉴定的病例报告。
