中心线相关血流感染(CLABSI)是患者预后不良的重要危险因素。正确诊断和治疗这些感染以确保最佳的康复机会非常重要。Kocuriarosea是一种新型细菌,它是人类菌群的原生细菌,并已成为最近医院感染的罪魁祸首。然而,由于其特点,它经常被常用的医院测试错误分类。我们介绍了一例55岁的镰状细胞病女性,该女性在住院期间发生了K.rosea感染,并得到了有效的诊断和治疗。本病例报告旨在使人们意识到这种不寻常的细菌可能是住院感染和CLABSI的原因。应进行进一步的研究以确定这种细菌的发生率,并进行最佳测试以正确识别。
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a significant risk factor for poor patient outcomes. It is important to correctly diagnose and treat these infections to ensure the best chance of recovery. Kocuria rosea is a novel bacteria that is native to the human flora and has been on the rise as a culprit in recent nosocomial infections. However, due to its characteristics, it is often misclassified by commonly used hospital tests. We present a
case of a 55-year-old female with sickle cell disease who developed a K. rosea infection during her hospital course and was effectively diagnosed and treated. This
case report aims to bring awareness to this unusual bacteria as a possible cause of inpatient infection and CLABSI. Further research should be conducted to determine the incidence of this bacteria and the best testing to be done for its proper recognition.
