is an uncommon Gram-negative bacteria rarely isolated from clinical samples. There are few reports of infections caused by this microorganism, especially in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 69-year-old male with a history of adrenal insufficiency who presented with bacteremia. The patient's immunocompromised state, resulting from chronic corticosteroid use, likely predisposed him to this rare infection. The limited number of reported cases highlights the need for awareness of this pathogen, especially in vulnerable populations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a infection in a patient with bacteremia in the setting of adrenal insufficiency in the United States.
是一种罕见的革兰氏阴性菌，很少从临床样本中分离出来。关于这种微生物引起感染的报道很少，尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。我们报告一例69岁男性，有肾上腺功能不全病史，出现菌血症。患者因长期使用皮质类固醇导致免疫功能低下，可能使他易患这种罕见感染。报告病例数量有限凸显了对这种病原体提高认识的必要性，尤其是在易感人群中。据我们所知，这是美国首例肾上腺功能不全患者发生菌血症感染的病例报告。
