Abstract:
Streptococcus suis is an emerging zoonotic human pathogen, which is a causative agent of invasive infections in people who are in close contact with infected pigs or contaminated pork products. It is associated with severe systemic infections, most commonly meningitis and sepsis, which may lead to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Serotype 2 is the most prevalent type in S. suis infections in humans. We have reported a case of a very rapidly proceeding fatal human S. suis infection in a splenectomized, but otherwise immunocompetent patient in Hungary. We would like to highlight the attention for this pathogen for the risk group patients, not only pig breeders, veterinarians, abattoir workers, meat processing and transport workers, butchers and cooks, that those persons who are immunocompromised including those with spleen removed, persons with diabetes mellitus, cancer and alcoholism, are also at greater risk of infection.
摘要:
猪链球菌是一种新兴的人畜共患病原体,是与受感染的猪或受污染的猪肉产品密切接触的人的侵入性感染的病原体。它与严重的全身感染有关,最常见的是脑膜炎和败血症,这可能导致高发病率和死亡率。血清型2是人类猪链球菌感染中最普遍的类型。我们已经报道了一例非常迅速进行的致命人类猪链球菌感染,但在匈牙利有免疫能力的患者。我们想强调这种病原体对危险人群患者的关注,不仅仅是猪饲养者,兽医,屠宰场工人,肉类加工和运输工人,屠夫和厨师,那些免疫功能低下的人,包括切除脾脏的人,糖尿病患者,癌症和酗酒,也有更大的感染风险。
