() is an organism that rarely presents with bacteremia in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of an immunocompetent 59-year-old male with a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection that developed bacteremia. We believe that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have played a role in developing bacteremia in this patient and may be one of the first reported cases of such bacteremia in a COVID-19 patient.
(某病原体)是一种在免疫功能正常的患者中很少引发菌血症的生物体。我们报告一例免疫功能正常的59岁男性病例,该患者近期感染了SARS-CoV-2并发生了菌血症。我们认为,SARS-CoV-2感染可能在该患者菌血症的发生中起到了作用,且可能是首批报道的COVID-19患者发生此类菌血症的病例之一。
