We describe the first reported case of an infected left atrial thrombus. The case of the 65-year-old male patient in this report was associated with mitral stenosis and involved Escherichia coli, and was treated successfully with surgical resection of the infected thrombus. This case suggests that such infection should be considered as a possible complication of intracardiac thrombus when bacteremia is present.
我们报道了首例感染性左心房血栓病例。本报告中的65岁男性患者的病例与二尖瓣狭窄相关，感染病原体为大肠杆菌，经手术切除感染性血栓后成功治愈。该病例表明，当存在菌血症时，这种感染应被视为心内血栓的一种可能并发症。
