Septic arthritis of the knee developed in a 21-month-old child. The causative organism, isolated from two separate arthrocenteses, was identified as Capnocytophaga ochracea morphologically and by biochemical reactions. Previous human infections (bacteremias) have occurred in granulocytopenic hosts with concomitant oral pathology including periodontitis and gingivitis. No abnormalities of oral hygiene were present in this patient, and granulocyte numbers were normal or elevated. Eradication of the infection was accomplished with 8 weeks of antibiotic therapy combined with surgical drainage. Septic arthritis expands the spectrum of infections reported to be caused by Capnocytophaga spp.
一名21个月大的儿童发生了膝关节化脓性关节炎。从两次独立的关节穿刺液中分离出的致病微生物,经形态学和生化反应鉴定为赭色二氧化碳嗜纤维菌。先前的人类感染(菌血症)发生在粒细胞减少的宿主中,伴有包括牙周炎和牙龈炎在内的口腔病变。该患者口腔卫生无异常,粒细胞数量正常或升高。通过8周的抗生素治疗联合手术引流实现了感染的根除。化脓性关节炎扩大了据报道由二氧化碳嗜纤维菌属引起的感染范围。
