Abstract:
A male patient with distant history of extensive rabbit contact and pulmonary nodules for 6 years developed empyema. Francisella tularensis holarctica was isolated from thoracentesis fluid. Retrospective immunohistochemical examination of a pulmonary nodule, biopsied 3 years prior, was immunoreactive for F. tularensis. These findings suggest the potential for chronic tularemia.
摘要:
一名男性患者有广泛的兔接触史和肺结节6年,出现脓胸。从胸腔穿刺液中分离出土伦弗朗西斯菌。肺结节的回顾性免疫组织化学检查,3年前做了活检,对土力弧菌具有免疫反应性。这些发现提示了慢性兔热病的可能性。
