我们报告了第一例人类热带伯克霍尔德杆菌感染病例。该患者是一名早产儿，患有坏死性小肠结肠炎并伴有肠穿孔，需要手术干预。造口护理和喂养困难是一个长期存在的问题。大约 4 个月大时，他因热带伯氏杆菌而患上败血症。连续三次血培养培养出了这种生物体。经过亚胺培南疗程和术后肠梗阻消退后，该微生物从血液中清除。我们的案例表明，环境和植物病原体可能导致人类感染，尤其是在免疫功能低下的情况下。 (C) 2009 年国际传染病学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
We report the first case of a human Burkholderia tropica infection. The patient was a premature neonate who had necrotizing enterocolitis with bowel perforation requiring surgical intervention. The stoma care and difficulties in feeding were a chronic problem. At the age of almost 4 months he developed septicemia due to B. tropica. Three consecutive blood cultures grew this organism. The organism was cleared from the blood after a course of imipenem and resolution of post-operative ileus. Our case suggests that environmental and plant pathogens can cause human infection especially in those in an immunocompromised condition. (C) 2009 International Society for Infectious Diseases.
