Multiple myeloma was diagnosed in 3 patients following episodes of pneumococcaemia associated with neutropenia and decreased serum concentration of normal immunoglobulins. Severe pneumococcal infection is commonly encountered during the course of multiple myeloma, but has not been stressed as a presenting feature of the disease.
3例患者在发生肺炎球菌血症并伴有中性粒细胞减少及正常免疫球蛋白血清浓度降低后被诊断为多发性骨髓瘤。严重的肺炎球菌感染在多发性骨髓瘤病程中较为常见,但尚未被强调为该疾病的首发特征。
