Clostridium ramosum, despite being a common enteric bacterium, is not commonly identified as the cause of pathologic infections in humans. It was first identified by Veillion and Zuber in 1898 from a patient with pulmonary gangrene and appendicitis. After performing an extensive literature search of major databases, only a few cases of pathologic C. ramosum infection were found in the medical literature. In this piece of work, we add to existing research by presenting a case report of an 83-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain, fever, and shortness of breath, requiring ICU admission due to mesenteric ischemia and C. ramosum bacteremia.
多枝梭菌尽管是一种常见的肠道细菌，但在人类中并不常被确定为病理性感染的病因。它于1898年由韦利翁和祖伯首次从一名患有肺坏疽和阑尾炎的患者身上分离出来。在对主要数据库进行广泛的文献检索后，医学文献中仅发现了少数几例多枝梭菌病理性感染病例。在这项工作中，我们通过报告一例83岁女性病例来补充现有研究，该患者出现腹痛、发热和呼吸急促，因肠系膜缺血和多枝梭菌菌血症而需要入住重症监护病房。
