阑尾螺旋体病在文献中很少被描述。我们评估了109例(76例成人和33例儿童)因疑似急性阑尾炎或同时进行的阑尾切除术的螺旋体病的发生率。两名女性和两名男性的阑尾螺旋体病在苏木精-伊红切片上被证实，并经Steiner和Steiner染色和超微结构研究证实。这四名患者中有一人被发现感染了艾滋病毒。其他三名患者的艾滋病毒状况尚不清楚。我们观察到，阑尾螺旋体病是一种罕见的现象，男女都有影响，发生时有或没有急性阑尾炎症状。我们的四例阳性病例中没有一例发生在儿科年龄组。
Appendiceal spirochetosis is rarely described in the literature. We assessed the incidence of spirochetosis in a series of 109 appendectomies (76 adult and 33 pediatric cases) done for either suspected acute appendicitis or as a concurrent procedure. Appendiceal spirochetosis was identified on hematoxylin-eosin sections and confirmed by Steiner and Steiner stain and ultrastructural study in two women and two men. One of these four patients was found to have HIV infection. The HIV status of the other three patients was unknown. We observed appendiceal spirochetosis to be an uncommon phenomenon that affects both sexes, occurring with or without symptoms of acute appendicitis. None of our four positive cases occurred in the pediatric age group.
