초록

본 증례는 간경화 환자에서 non-O1 V. cholerae에 의한 고름근육염이 발생한 국내 첫 예이다. 이러한 기저 질환이 있는 환자에서 고름근육염의 원인균으로 non-O1 V. cholerae도 고려하여야 한다.

A 63-year-old man with underlying liver cirrhosis was admitted with painful swelling of the right thigh. We identified a non-O1 Vibrio cholerae strain in blood cultures and multiple pyomyositis in the lower limbs. Non-O1 V. cholerae strains have caused several well-studied food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis and have been responsible for sporadic cases of otitis media, skin and soft tissue infection, and bacteremia. Skin and soft tissue infection due to non-O1 V. cholerae is rare and is commonly associated with the presence of chronic underlying disease, such as liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, an immunocompromised state, or a hematological malignancy. We report the first case of pyomyositis caused by non-O1 V. cholerae in Korea. Physicians should consider non-O1 V. cholerae strains as a pathogen that can cause pyomyositis.
