Bordetella는 Proteobacteria 문에 속하는 균주로서 그람 음성의 짧은 막대균 형태를 보인다. Bordetella 속에는 4가지 종이 포함되어 있는데, 그중에서 Bordetella bronchiseptica는 토끼, 기니아 피그, 개 등의 야생 포유류의 상기도에 공생하여 기관기관지염(tracheobronchitis)과 비성호흡(snuffles), 켄넬코프(kennel cough) 등의 질병을 일으킨다[1,2].
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a common cause of respiratory disease in animals but is a rare cause of human infection. Furthermore, most patients with Bordetella bronchiseptica infections are immunocompromised. The Bordetella bronchiseptica organism can cause pneumonia, septicemia, and peritonitis in humans with impaired immune systems. Additionally, it can lead to a life-threatening infection patients who have an underlying debilitation or impaired immunity. The respiratory tract is the most common site of infection. Sixty-two human cases of Bordetella bronchiseptica have been published in the English literature, and 84 % hadof the cases were associated with pneumonia or bronchitis. However, only one case of Bordetella bronchiseptica has been reported in South Korea, and it was associated with peritonitis. In the current study, we report a case of Bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia diagnosed in an immunocompromised patient.
