We describe a case report of a 56-year-old male with undiagnosed multiple myeloma who had severe sepsis associated with pneumonia, meningitis, polyarthritis, and osteomyelitis related to invasive "Haemophilus quentini" infection. The genus was misidentified as H. influenzae by the common bacterial identification systems including newly introduced syndromic PCR-based methods. We review the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory aspects of this rare, cryptic species of Haemophilus.
我们描述了一例 56 岁男性病例,该男性患有未确诊的多发性骨髓瘤,并发严重脓毒症,伴有肺炎、脑膜炎、多发性关节炎和与侵袭性“嗜血流感菌”感染相关的骨髓炎。该属通过包括新引入的基于综合征 PCR 的方法在内的常见细菌鉴定系统被错误鉴定为流感嗜血杆菌。我们回顾了这种罕见的、隐匿性嗜血杆菌属的流行病学、临床和实验室方面。
