Fatal Septicemia Due to Bacillus cereus in a Patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-Case Report

慢性阻塞性肺病急性發作後併發仙人掌桿菌敗血症-病例報告

摘要


仙人掌桿菌,又稱蠟狀芽胞桿菌,廣泛地分布於土壤中,可造成食品中毒。先前的病例報告指出仙人掌桿菌造成的敗血症總是發生在免疫功能低下的族群,但是近來發現,仙人掌桿菌也可能在非免疫低下甚至健康的成年人中造成嚴重的感染。在此,我們報告一位罹患慢性阻塞性肺病合併呼吸衰竭的患者,在接受全身性類固醇治療急性發作並康復出院後併發嚴重的仙人掌桿菌敗血症的案例。

Bacillus cereus isolates have generally been considered to be a contaminant or harmless pathogen. Fatal Bacillus cereus septicemia has been reported occasionally in immunocompromised patients. Recently, there have been reports of fatal cases of septicemia in healthy adults. Herein, we report a patient who developed fulminant and fatal Bacillus cereus septicemia 2 days after discharge from a hospital where he had undergone short-term therapy with low-dose corticosteroids for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
