Dialister pneumosintes is an obligate anaerobic Gram-negative rod associated with infections of the oral cavity. We report on a previously healthy, 51-year-old woman who presented with a liver abscess caused by Dialister pneumosintes as a complication of a dental abscess. The microorganism was identified by using a broad-range bacterial 16S rRNA gene PCR in the liver exudate. The patient was cured after abscess drainage and 4-week antibiotic treatment. Our case highlights the importance of a good history and physical examination when taking care of patients admitted for pyogenic liver abscess.
肺弯杆菌是一种与口腔感染有关的专性厌氧革兰阴性杆菌。我们报告了一例先前健康的 51 岁女性，她因口腔脓肿引起的肝脓肿并发肺弯杆菌感染。该微生物是通过在肝渗出物中使用广谱细菌 16S rRNA 基因 PCR 鉴定出来的。患者在脓肿引流和 4 周的抗生素治疗后痊愈。我们的病例强调了在照顾因化脓性肝脓肿入院的患者时，详细了解病史和进行全面体检的重要性。
