Moraxella Lacunata

Moraxella lacunata, a low-virulence Gram-negative coccobacillus, is classically associated with conjunctivitis and upper respiratory tract infections; systemic infections such as sepsis have rarely been reported, especially in children. We describe a 28-month-old girl with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and stage II chronic kidney disease on long-term eculizumab therapy who presented with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and was found to have Moraxella lacunata bloodstream infection. Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-C5 antibody, has been associated with susceptibility to infections with encapsulated bacteria, especially Neisseria meningitidis. This is the first report of an invasive bacterial infection with Moraxella lacunata in a pediatric eculizumab recipient.

Moraxella Lacunata

AbstractMoraxella lacunata (M. lacunata) is a Gram-negative bacterium, which rarely causes serious infection. This is a rare case report of acute glomerulonephritis diagnosed by pathological findings in a child accompanied by M. lacunata infection. The patient showed hematuria, proteinuria and hyperkalemia requiring emergency hemodialysis. After hospitalization, M. lacunata bacteremia became apparent. Pathological findings showed an increase in glomerulus inflammatory cells and glomerular C3 deposition was observed in the renal tissue biopsy. Final diagnosis was endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis. Clinical reports of M. lacunata infection requiring emergency hemodialysis in children are rare. Previous reports have suggested that lowered immune competency with chronic kidney disease may be a risk factor associated with serious invasive cases of M. lacunata infection. However, detailed clinical laboratory data and pathological findings have not been identified in previous case reports. Our case directly indicated complement activity and acute glomerulonephritis with M. lacunata infection. Although there are various causes for acute glomerulonephritis, infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is an important concept. M. lacunata infection might have a potential risk for IRGN with dysregulation of complement activity leading to serious and invasive clinical conditions than previously considered.

Abstract Moraxella lacunata is a rare coccobacillus associated with eye and upper respiratory tract infections. It may also have an affinity for bone and joint tissue. We report on 1 case of subacute osteomyelitis of the patella due to M. lacunata that presented as an osteolytic bone lesion in a child.
