Eikenella corrodens, a gram-negative, slow-growing rod, belongs to the normal flora of mucous membranes. Infections of the hand including this pathogen, are described in human bite and clenched fist injuries. Our case demonstrates another possibility of wound contamination with normal oral flora causing Eikenella corrodens infection. The consequences due to the delay of appropriate therapy are discussed.
侵蚀艾肯菌是一种革兰氏阴性、生长缓慢的杆菌,属于黏膜正常菌群。包括这种病原体在内的手部感染,在人类咬伤和握拳伤中有所描述。我们的病例展示了正常口腔菌群污染伤口导致侵蚀艾肯菌感染的另一种可能性。文中讨论了因延误适当治疗而产生的后果。
