Vancomycin-resistant enterococci have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens and represent a serious threat to patients with impaired host defenses. We describe a patient with leukemia who developed prolonged colonization with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and ultimately died of sepsis due to this multidrug-resistant organism. This case report confirms that colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci may last indefinitely and that asymptomatic carriage can lead to invasive infection.
耐万古霉素肠球菌已成为重要的医院病原体，对宿主防御功能受损的患者构成严重威胁。我们描述了一名白血病患者，该患者长期定植耐万古霉素屎肠球菌，最终死于由这种多重耐药菌引起的败血症。本病例报告证实，耐万古霉素肠球菌的定植可能会无限期持续，无症状携带可导致侵袭性感染。
