Ten cases of surgical wound infection in which Propionibacterium acnes was probably the aetiologic agent were reviewed; in five the organism was isolated in pure culture. Six patients underwent a neurosurgical procedure. The average time for development of infection was 17.5 days (range 1-30 days). All patients were cured by surgical drainage and, in nine cases, with appropriate antimicrobial therapy. In conclusion, P. acnes must be considered as a cause of surgical wound infections especially after neurosurgery.
回顾了10例可能由痤疮丙酸杆菌作为病原体引起的手术伤口感染病例;其中5例分离出了纯培养的该微生物。6例患者接受了神经外科手术。感染发生的平均时间为17.5天(范围1 - 30天)。所有患者均通过手术引流治愈,9例患者还接受了适当的抗菌治疗。总之,痤疮丙酸杆菌必须被视为手术伤口感染的一个病因,尤其是在神经外科手术后。
