We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with granulomatous pneumonia caused by Francisella tularensis. In addition, an autosomal recessive form of chronic granulomatous disease was diagnosed. Both F. tularensis and chronic granulomatous disease are associated with pulmonary granulomas. To our knowledge, this is the first report of F. tularensis infection in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease. The relationship between these two processes is discussed.
我们报告了一例由土拉弗朗西斯菌引起的肉芽肿性肺炎的14岁男孩病例。此外，还诊断出一种常染色体隐性形式的慢性肉芽肿病。土拉弗朗西斯菌和慢性肉芽肿病均与肺部肉芽肿有关。据我们所知，这是首例关于慢性肉芽肿病患者感染土拉弗朗西斯菌的报告。本文讨论了这两个病症之间的关系。
