We report the case of isolation of Bordetella trematum from the respiratory tract of a 4-year-old patient admitted to the multipurpose pediatric intensive care anesthesia department at the Rabat children's hospital since he was 9 months old, for the management of respiratory distress in anterior spinal muscularatrophy type 2. The genus Bordetella contains seven species: B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, B. bronchiseptica, B. avium, B. hinzii, B. holmesii and B. trematum. These species are isolated from both humans and other animals. The name Bordetella trematum was firstly described in 1996 after genotypic and phenotypic analysis of tenstrains of atypical or unclassified bordetellae
To date, only a few strains of Bordetella trematum have been isolated and reported, primarily as a result of skin and soft tissue infections. To our knowledge, only a single case of Bordetella trematum isolated from human respiratory tract has been documented since its initial description.
The sample sent to the laboratory of bacteriology Ibn SINA, show significant amounts of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria. The isolate was identified by MALDI-TOF MS as Bordetella trematum. In recent years, routine bacterial identification by MALDI-TOF MS has allowed correct discrimination of this species.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (Douek et al., 2009). AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. In the present study carried out on 942 patients with various sexually transmitted diseases 65 patients were found to be seropositive for HIV. Out of these 42 were males (64.61%) while 23 were females (35.38%) which are lower than Burzin et al. (2006) from Ahmedabad reported 77.51% males and 22.49% females found seropositive for HIV. This might be due to less no. of patients in our study. Large number of cases in males in comparison to females is explained from the fact that in females the social stigma and discrimination prevents the women to seek help of STD clinic facility, which in turn contribute higher cases in males. Hence, our study support the males are affected than the opposite sex. Among 65 HIV patients, herpes Progenitalis is the commonest STD with 28 cases (43.07%), followed by Syphilis (18.45%), Mixed VDs (12.3%), Molluscum contagiosum (7.69%), Gonorrhoea (6.15%), Chancroid (4.61%), Condyloma acuminate (3.07%), Granuloma Inguinale (1.53%), Lymphogranuloma venereum (1.53%) and Nongonococcal urethritis (1.53%) indicating that HIV is co-supplemented with STDs and such STD patients are high risk of HIV Seropositivity.
