Pulmonary infection caused by Arachnia propionica in a patient with hairy cell leukaemia is described. The organism is highly sensitive to penicillin but the patient succumbed to his illness despite treatment with penicillin and various other antibiotics. Various types of opportunist infections are common in patients with hairy cell leukaemia but we believe this to be the first report of infection by Arachnia propionica in such a patient.
本文描述了一名毛细胞白血病患者由丙酸蛛菌引起的肺部感染。该病原体对青霉素高度敏感,但尽管使用了青霉素和其他多种抗生素治疗,患者仍因病死亡。各种机会性感染在毛细胞白血病患者中很常见,但我们认为这是此类患者中由丙酸蛛菌感染的首例报告。
