Abstract

Invasive disease due to Moraxella catarrhalis is rare and has been associated mostly with immune deficiency conditions. We describe the first case of M catarrhalis bacteremia and preseptal cellulitis in an immunocompetent infant. This organism may be evolving from one with low pathogenicity to one with increased pathogenicity.

摘要

由卡他莫拉菌引起的侵袭性疾病较为罕见，大多与免疫缺陷状况相关。我们描述了首例免疫功能正常婴儿发生卡他莫拉菌血症和眶隔前蜂窝织炎的病例。这种微生物可能正从一种致病性较低的病原体演变为致病性增强的病原体。
