ABSTRACT

We report a case of bacteremia caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis. A 2 years and 3 months female Kuwaiti child presented with febrile convulsions, mild cough and vomiting. The patient's history, clinical findings and radiological investigations were reviewed. There was no history of rat/animal bite, but the child had been camping in the desert prior to the illness and may have been exposed to rodent excreta. On two occasions, blood culture specimens yielded pure growth of the organism which was identified by standard diagnostic criteria. The patient was successfully treated with cefotaxime and clarithromicin. S. moniliformis may be a cause of bacteremia even in the absence of rat/animal bites

ABSTRACT

Numerosas afecciones son transmitidas al hombre por diferentes vectores, sean éstos insectos, pájaros o mamíferos. Entre las transmitidas por estos últimos, en la presente revisión se abordaron: la enfermedad por mordedura de rata que es básicamente un cuadro febril agudo, intenso, de comienzo brusco y de evolución recurrente y la enfermedad por rasguño de gato que se manifiesta por adenopatías sin signos inflamatorios locales, de lenta evolución regresiva y con escasa repercusión sobre el estado general. Ambas afecciones son más comunes en nuestro medio de lo que habitualmente se piensa y responden favorablemente a diversos antibióticos pero inicialmente plantean, con frecuencia, problemas de diagnóstico diferencial con enfermedades de pronóstico más grave
