We report a case of septic shock caused by Slackia exigua, an obligatory anaerobic gram-positive rod, in an 82-year-old woman with diabetes. Dental assessment revealed a palatal lesion and untreated periodontitis. Although a resident species in the oral cavity and associated with localized disorders, S. exigua can cause extra-oral diseases, which can be fatal in individuals with risk factors, such as diabetes. Thus, control of oral lesions caused by S. exigua is important to prevent systemic infection.
我们报告了一例由苛求斯莱克氏菌（一种专性厌氧革兰氏阳性杆菌）引起的感染性休克病例，患者为一名82岁患有糖尿病的女性。牙科检查发现腭部病变和未经治疗的牙周炎。尽管苛求斯莱克氏菌是口腔中的常驻菌且与局部疾病有关，但它可引起口腔外疾病，在有糖尿病等危险因素的个体中可能是致命的。因此，控制由苛求斯莱克氏菌引起的口腔病变对于预防全身感染很重要。
