【 摘 要 】

We encountered and treated two cases of Prevotella bivia in mixed aerobic/anaerobic paronychia within a period of 1 year. Upon reviewing the literature, we found a dearth of both experimental and anecdotal evidence of this specific bacterial infection, with only one case of P. bivia in the hand having been reported [1].
