An 8-week-old infant presented with Arizona hinshawii meningitis and bacteraemia. The child responded well to the administration of parenteral ampicillin and chloramphenicol. However, chloramphenicol was discontinued after one day of therapy, and A. hinshawii was recultured from the cerebrospinal fluid on the fifth day. Chloramphenicol therapy was restarted and the patient had an uneventful recovery. This report is the first description of A. hinshawii meningitis and should alert clinicians to the possible occurrence of this infection in endemic areas.
一名8周大的婴儿出现了希氏亚利桑那菌脑膜炎和菌血症。该患儿对静脉注射氨苄西林和氯霉素治疗反应良好。然而，治疗一天后停用了氯霉素，第5天脑脊液中再次培养出希氏亚利桑那菌。重新开始使用氯霉素治疗，患者顺利康复。本报告是对希氏亚利桑那菌脑膜炎的首次描述，应提醒临床医生在流行地区可能发生这种感染。
