Anaerobic arthritis due to Bacteroides fragilis was diagnosed in a 33-year-old patient with prolonged fever suffering from sickle cell/thalassaemia. The causative agent was isolated from blood and purulent synovial fluid from both knee joints. A combination of chloramphenicol plus metronidazole treatment proved effective. Anaerobic arthritis has not previously been described in patients with sickle cell disease, and may reflect the well-known susceptibility of these patients to pathogens.
一名患有镰状细胞/地中海贫血且长期发热的33岁患者被诊断为脆弱拟杆菌引起的厌氧性关节炎。从血液和双膝关节的脓性滑液中分离出了病原体。氯霉素加甲硝唑联合治疗被证明有效。此前尚未有镰状细胞病患者发生厌氧性关节炎的报道，这可能反映了这些患者对病原体的易感性。
