[Ab] Resumo: | OBJECTIVES: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency. The etiology and pathophysiology of appendicitis have been well investigated. Aggregatibacter aphrophilus is a fastidious gram-negative coccobacilli. Detection of this organism in clinical samples and its differentiation from Haemophilus aphrophilus or from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in routine microbiology settings could be difficult. METHODS: In this rare case, we report the isolation of Aggregatibacter aphrophilus from the appendix of a 14-year-old boy presented with acute appendicitis. The genotypic method using 16S rRNA sequencing was used for identification of the organism at species level. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the importance of detecting fastidious and rare microorganisms such as Aggregatibacter aphrophilus that could be associated with acute appendicitis. |
