我们报告了一例猪布鲁氏菌心内膜炎的致命病例，该病例最初被自动识别系统误诊为人类黑杆菌感染，患者有马凡综合征和休闲野猪狩猎史。本报告强调需要考虑将布鲁氏菌病作为急性发热性疾病鉴别诊断的一部分，特别是在已知暴露风险的患者中。
We report a fatal case of Brucella suis endocarditis initially misdiagnosed by automated identification systems as Ochrobactrum anthropi infection in a patient with a history of Marfan syndrome and recreational feral swine hunting. This report emphasizes the need to consider brucellosis as a part of the differential diagnosis of acute febrile illness, particularly in patients with known risk of exposure.
