Oligella是人类泌尿道的共生菌属,很少引起临床感染。我们报告了一名无症状的24岁男性,有Tourette综合征病史,并且最近放置了深部脑刺激器导线,在硬件植入过程中发现与Oligella物种共感染。这是第一例报道的Oligella深部脑刺激器感染病例,一种潜在的认识不足和新兴的机会细菌。我们回顾了先前发表的泌尿生殖道外Oligella感染病例,并详细介绍了这种罕见病原体的临床管理。
Oligella is a commensal bacteria genus of the human urinary tract that rarely precipitates clinical infections. We report the
case of an asymptomatic 24-year-old male with a medical history of Tourette syndrome and the recent placement of deep brain stimulator leads, which were found to be co-infected with Oligella species during hardware implantation. This is the first reported
case of a deep brain stimulator infection by Oligella, a potentially under-recognized and emerging opportunistic bacteria. We review the previously published cases of extra-genitourinary Oligella infections and detail the clinical management of this uncommon pathogen.
