“…To date, H. cinaedi is a poorly studied pathogen, but more and more human diseases associated with this bacterium are documented each year ( van der Ven et al, 1996 ; Lewis et al, 2007 ; Nishida et al, 2016 ). One of the known H. cinaedi -associated diseases is bacteremia ( Fox-Lewis et al, 2020 ; Fujita et al, 2021 ), but other pathologies such as cellulitis ( Lenskaya et al, 2022 ), ovarian abscess ( Sato et al, 2019 ), and vertebral osteomyelitis ( Hase et al, 2018 ) are also reported. Among patients with H. cinaedi -associated pathologies, there are different age groups, including young people without immunodeficiencies.…”
