Abstract
<i>Haemophilus parahaemolyticus</i>Septic Shock after Aspiration Pneumonia, France
Highlights
We report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and septic shock caused by H. parahaemolyticus
This study shows the isolation in pure culture of H. parahaemolyticus from the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimen of a patient with septic shock with ARDS
Correct identification of bacteria of the genus Haemophilus at the species level, including H. parahaemolyticus, by MALDI-TOF, has been reported in 2 recent works [9,10]. Isolation of this bacterium in pure culture from the BAL specimen was eventually associated with the disease of the patient, and the patient rapidly improved after receiving antimicrobial drug treatment
Summary
The association of pregnancy and leprosy, I. To the Editor: Members of the genus Haemophilus are commensal bacteria of the upper respiratory tract, and H. influenzae is the main pathogen in this genus that can cause a wide range of human infections [1]. The species most closely related to H. influenzae is H. haemolyticus, usually considered a commensal of the nasopharynx in humans; it can be pathogenic, rarely [2,3].
