我们报告一例滑膜炎的64岁男子谁开发的感染，而类固醇治疗类风湿关节炎。在抗生素治疗前，从两组血培养物中分离出一种革兰氏阳性过氧化氢酶阴性球菌。患者接受4周适当抗生素治疗，滑膜炎症消退。尽管滑液抽吸物从未对任何细菌或真菌呈阳性，但血培养阳性的时间和缺乏其他病原体表明可能的病因是D。pigrum。
We report a case of synovitis in a 64-year-old man who developed the infection while on steroid therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. Dolosigranulum pigrum, a gram-positive catalase-negative coccus, was isolated from two sets of blood cultures prior to antibiotic therapy. The patient was treated with 4 weeks of appropriate antibiotics, and the synovial inflammation resolved. Although synovial aspirates were never positive for any bacteria or fungi, the timing of positive blood cultures and absence of other pathogens suggest the possible etiology as D. pigrum.
