  • Streptobacillus moniliformis bacteremia in a rheumatoid arthritis patient without a rat bite: a case report
    BMC Research Notes, 2015
    Co-Authors: Takahito Nei, Akiko Sato, Kazunari Sonobe, Yoshihiko Miura, Kenji Takahashi, Ryoichi Saito
    Abstract:

    Background Rat bite fever is a relatively rare infectious disease due to infection with Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum Minus mainly via directs bite by rats, mice, or other rodents. If there is no clear bite history, the diagnosis is difficult or may not be made. Case presentation A 72-year-old Asian female with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted for high grade fever and walking difficulty with severe lumbago. Initially, we suspected lumber compression fracture with deterioration of rheumatoid arthritis, but Gram-negative bacilli were isolated from blood culture during hospitalization. The isolated organism was identified as S. moniliformis by 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing. S. moniliformis is well known to be a primary causative organism of rat bite fever, but this patient had no history of rat bite. Had S. moniliformis bacteremia not been detected, she might have been treated for rheumatic exacerbation. Conclusion We emphasize the importance of performing appropriate microbial culture testing for identifying potential infectious diseases. We also conclude that S. moniliformis infection can become established with contaminated vehicle contact alone, not only as a direct result of a bite. We must keep mind that those working in places where rodents breed or are at risk of contact with rats or mice might be at risk for contracting this unusual disease.

  • Rattenbeetziekte na een beet van een huisrat
    Tijdschrift voor kindergeneeskunde, 2005
    Co-Authors: A. E. Donker, J. A. E. M. Mutsaers, R. G. Ommen-koolmees, C. L. Jansen
    Abstract:

    An 11-year old girl presented with relapsing fever, arthralgias and a skin rash after a finger bite by her domestic rat. As rat bite fever was suspected our patient was treated with intravenous penicillin. Isolation of Streptobacillus moniliformis from the blood culture established our diagnosis. Patient recovered completely. Rat bite fever is a rare, systemic, febrile illness transmitted through the bite of a rat, other rodent, or animal that prey on these rodents, like cat, dog, ferret, weasel and pig. This worldwide zoonotic disease is caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum Minus . The diagnosis is classically established by blood culture. Detection of Streptobacillus moniliformis is also possible by polymerase-chain-reaction technique. Both Streptobacillus moniliformis and Spirillum Minus are susceptible to penicillin. With timely diagnosis and correct treatment prognosis is good. Een meisje van 11 jaar presenteerde zich met piekende koorts, gewrichtsklachten en huiduitslag na een beet door haar huisrat. De diagnose rattenbeetziekte, ‘rat bite fever’, werd vermoed, waarop patiënte werd behandeld met intraveneuze penicilline. Isolatie van Streptobacillus moniliformis uit de bloedkweek bevestigde onze waarschijnlijkheidsdiagnose. Patiënte herstelde volledig. Rat bite fever is een zeldzame, koortsende ziekte die wordt overgebracht door de beet van een rat, een ander klein knaagdier, of een dier dat knaagdieren opeet, zoals kat, hond, fret, wezel en varken. De wereldwijd voorkomende zoönose wordt veroorzaakt door Streptobacillus moniliformis of Spirillum Minus . Behalve door middel van een bloedkweek kan Streptobacillus moniliformis met behulp van de techniek van een polymerasekettingreactie worden gediagnosticeerd. Streptobacillus moniliformis en Spirillum Minus zijn goed gevoelig voor penicilline. Bij een tijdige diagnose en adequate behandeling is de prognose goed.
