Abstract
Detection of Helcococcus kunzii and Ignatzschineria ureiclastica/larvae has been made possible by recent advancements in microbiologic diagnostics. We report the first described case of polymicrobial bacteremia secondary to these two unique pathogens, and only the third case of I. ureiclastica/larvae bacteremia described in the United States. Myiasis has historically been thought of as an infestation. This case adds to the growing body of evidence that myiasis is potentially a vector for bacteria, and bacteremia, and the potential for the spread of other vector-borne diseases.
近年来，微生物诊断技术的进步使检测昆虫螺旋球菌和脲酵母菌/马拉维酵母菌（Ignatzschineria ureiclastica/larvae）成为可能。我们报告了第一例继发于这两种独特病原体的多微生物菌血症病例，也是美国报告的第三例 I. ureiclastica/larvae 菌血症病例。蠅蛆病历来被认为是一种虫害。越来越多的证据表明，蠅蛆病可能是细菌和菌血症的病媒，并有可能传播其他病媒传播的疾病。
期刊介绍：
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases is an authoritative, peer-reviewed journal providing basic and applied research on diseases transmitted to humans by invertebrate vectors or non-human vertebrates. The Journal examines geographic, seasonal, and other risk factors that influence the transmission, diagnosis, management, and prevention of this group of infectious diseases, and identifies global trends that have the potential to result in major epidemics.
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases coverage includes:
-Ecology
-Entomology
-Epidemiology
-Infectious diseases
-Microbiology
-Parasitology
-Pathology
-Public health
-Tropical medicine
-Wildlife biology
-Bacterial, rickettsial, viral, and parasitic zoonoses
