螺原体是一种通常寄生于植物和昆虫体内的生物。我们描述了首例由螺旋体细菌引起的人类全身性感染，患者患有低丙种球蛋白血症，正在接受生物疾病修饰抗风湿药治疗。通过分子方法在几种血培养物中鉴定出了螺旋体。多西环素联合左氧氟沙星治疗感染成功。
Spiroplasma species are organisms that normally colonize plants and insects. We describe the first case of human systemic infection caused by Spiroplasma bacteria in a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia undergoing treatment with biological disease-modifying antirheumatic agents. Spiroplasma turonicum was identified through molecular methods in several blood cultures. The infection was successfully treated with doxycycline plus levofloxacin.
