Haemophilus influenzae is a pleomorphic gram-negative bacterium that causes a myriad of infections in both adults and children. The organism frequently causes respiratory infections in patients with obstructive lung disease but may on occasion cause invasive infections including pneumonia with bacteremia. We report the case of a patient with underlying lung disease and metastatic malignancy in whom sepsis related to pneumonia caused by H. influenzae developed.
流感嗜血杆菌是一种多形性革兰氏阴性菌，可在成人和儿童中引发多种感染。该病原体常导致阻塞性肺病患者发生呼吸道感染，但偶尔也会引起侵袭性感染，包括伴有菌血症的肺炎。我们报告了一例患有基础肺病和转移性恶性肿瘤的患者，该患者发生了由流感嗜血杆菌引起的与肺炎相关的败血症。
