Abstract：
Description Enterococcus cecorum rarely serves as a human pathogen, and only 6 cases of this microbe inoculating humans have been documented. We present an elderly female with a marked vascular history presenting with epigastric pain and diarrhea, followed by shaking chills. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, with imaging showing diffuse colonic thickening. She had a bout of bloody diarrhea, raising the likelihood of ischemic colitis with her vascular history. To our surprise, both sets of blood cultures drawn on admission grew Enterococcus cecorum. This case is unique as it is the first documented case of E. cecorum human infection in the United States.

描述盲肠球菌很少作为人类病原体，只有6例这种微生物接种人类被记录。我们介绍了一位有明显血管病史的老年女性，表现为上腹痛和腹泻，接着发抖。实验室发现白细胞增多,影像学显示弥漫性结肠增厚。她有一次血腥的腹泻，增加缺血性结肠炎的可能性与她的血管病史。令我们惊讶的是，入院时抽取的两组血培养物均生长盲肠球菌.该病例是独特的，因为它是美国第一个记录在案的人感染E.cecorum的病例。
