It is well known that patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have an altered immune status and are susceptible to opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections. The authors report the first case of a patient with advanced Hodgkin's disease who developed pneumonia caused by the animal pathogen The most likely source of this organism was the patient's dog. While is often responsible for outbreaks of pneumonia and septicaemia in wild and domestic animals, its role and incidence in human infections is not known. It is felt that patients with underlying lymphoproliferative diseases and pneumonia should be questioned about any contact with animals.
众所周知，淋巴增生性疾病患者的免疫状态会发生改变，易受机会性和非机会性感染。作者报告了首例晚期霍奇金病患者发生由动物病原体引起的肺炎的病例。这种病原体最可能的来源是患者的狗。虽然该病原体常常导致野生动物和家畜发生肺炎和败血症疫情，但其在人类感染中的作用和发病率尚不清楚。人们认为，对于患有潜在淋巴增生性疾病并伴有肺炎的患者，应询问其是否与动物有过接触。
