摘要阴道加德纳氏菌是一种兼性厌氧革兰氏菌，常与女性生殖道感染，尤其是细菌性阴道病有关，但对阴道外加德纳氏菌感染的认识日益增多。我们报告一位有左髋部尤文肉瘤病史的年轻女性患者，因阴道毛滴虫引起的骨髓炎髋部脓肿，经手术切除、化疗及硬体放置治疗。我们讨论了医学文献中以前报道的由阴道毛滴虫引起的骨关节感染的病例，并讨论了我们独特病例的处理，尽管阴道毛滴虫缺乏抗菌药敏感性。
Abstract Gardnerella vaginalis (G. vaginalis) is a facultative anaerobic gram-variable pleomorphic rod most commonly associated with infection of the genital tract in women, especially bacterial vaginosis, but recognition of extravaginal G. vaginalis infection is becoming more frequent. We report a case of osteomyelitis hip abscess caused by G. vaginalis in a young female patient with a history of left hip Ewing sarcoma treated with surgical resection, chemotherapy, and hardware placement. We discuss previously reported cases of osteoarticular infections due to G. vaginalis in the medical literature and management of our unique case despite the lack of antimicrobial susceptibility for G. vaginalis.
