Imaging findings in human Bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia.

چکیده
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative coccobacillus, which causes respiratory infection in dogs, rabbits, and pigs, and is rarely a human pulmonary pathogen. We present 2 immunocompromised patients diagnosed with B. bronchiseptica pneumonia. To our knowledge, these are the first reports of this disease in patients with B-cell lymphoma and an orthotopic cardiac transplant. In this report, we briefly discuss the epidemiology, microbiology, and challenges in the laboratory identification of B. bronchiseptica and describe the protean imaging manifestations of this rare pulmonary infection. We also address issues related to treatment and prognosis.

It is well known that patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have an altered immune status and are susceptible to opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections. The authors report the first case of a patient with advanced Hodgkin's disease who developed pneumonia caused by the animal pathogen Bordetella bronchiseptica. The most likely source ofthis organism was the patient's dog. While B....
متن کاملBordetella bronchiseptica Pneumonia in an Extremely-Low-Birth-Weight Neonate
Bordetella bronchiseptica, a gram-negative coccobacillus, is a common veterinary pathogen. In both domestic and wild animals, this bacterium causes respiratory infections including infectious tracheobronchitis in dogs and atrophic rhinitis in swine. Human infections are rare and have been documented in immunocompromised hosts. Here, we describe an extremely-low-birth-weight infant with B. bronc...
متن کاملBordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia and bacteremia following bone marrow transplantation.
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a frequent cause of respiratory infections in animals but rarely causes disease in humans. We describe a patient with B. bronchiseptica pneumonia and bacteremia that developed following bone marrow transplantation. B. bronchiseptica infection persisted despite antimicrobial therapy and may have progressed because of the combined effects of the patient's underlying i...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Bordetella bronchiseptica S798, an Isolate from a Pig with Atrophic Rhinitis
Bordetella bronchiseptica colonizes the respiratory tracts of a wide variety of mammals and causes a range of diseases, from lethal pneumonia to asymptomatic chronic infection. We report the complete genome sequence of Bordetella bronchiseptica strain S798, isolated from a pig with atrophic rhinitis in Japan.
