Infections due to group B streptococci usually occur in the peri- and neonatal setting or in adults with chronic underlying diseases. A case of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae in a 54-year-old man suffering from phimosis with urinary retention and urinary tract infection is reported. This case adds to the few existing reports of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by group B streptococci.
B族链球菌感染通常发生在围产期和新生儿期,或患有慢性基础疾病的成年人中。本文报道了1例由无乳链球菌引起的化脓性脊椎骨髓炎病例,患者为一名54岁男性,患有包茎伴尿潴留和尿路感染。该病例补充了现有的少数几例关于B族链球菌引起脊椎骨髓炎的报告。
