Cavitary pneumonitis due to Bacillus cereus occurred in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Pneumonia due to this organism is uncommon and recovery has not been previously reported. The present report is the first description of cavitary pneumonia due to B. cereus with a successful outcome. Recovery was attributed to appropriate antimicrobial therapy and induction of leukemic remission with chemotherapy.
一名急性淋巴细胞白血病患者发生了由蜡样芽孢杆菌引起的空洞性肺炎。由这种微生物引起的肺炎并不常见，此前也未有康复的报道。本报告首次描述了蜡样芽孢杆菌引起的空洞性肺炎并获得成功治愈的病例。康复归因于适当的抗菌治疗以及化疗诱导白血病缓解。
