Moraxella osloensis has been reported in the literature as a human pathogen, particularly among immunocompromised adults. In contrast to the adult population, most pediatric cases are among patients with no underlying immunological defect; however, no patient underwent further investigation and no data about the long-term follow-up are available. We report the case of a 2-month-old previously healthy girl infected with Moraxella osloensis. Here, we review case reports and case series of children and adults with Moraxella osloensis infection and compare them with our experience. On the basis of our findings, we recommend further investigations (immunological or other underlying diseases) when a child is found to be infected with these bacteria.
挪威莫拉菌已在文献中被报道为人类病原体，尤其是在免疫功能低下的成年人中。与成年人群相比，大多数儿科病例发生于无潜在免疫缺陷的患者中；然而，没有患者接受进一步的检查，也没有长期随访的数据。我们报告了一例 2 个月大的既往健康女孩感染挪威莫拉菌的病例。在此，我们回顾了儿童和成人感染挪威莫拉菌的病例报告和病例系列，并将其与我们的经验进行了比较。基于我们的发现，当发现儿童感染这些细菌时，我们建议进行进一步的检查（免疫或其他潜在疾病）。
