Identification of a Ciprofloxacin - resistant Shigella flexneri from a patient with HIV infection - the challenge of laboratory diagnosis
從一位HIV患者感染Ciprofloxacin抗藥型B型志賀氏菌之鑑定探討臨床實驗室鑑別志賀氏菌之挑戰
摘要
Shigellosis is an acute gastroenteritis, which is transmitted by the fecal-oral route. The risk of Shigella has been shown to be higher in immunocompromised patients. Shigellosis can also be a sexually transmitted infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) to cause outbreaks and circulation in shigellosis low-risk regions. Here, we present a case of Shigella flexneri dysentery in a patient with HIV infection, to investigate the challenge of conventional laboratory techniques versus automated identification systems in differentiating between Shigella species and Escherichia coli.
