Mycobacteria rarely cause endocardial infections. We describe the clinical course of a patient who developed endocarditis, and meningitis with Mycobacterium fortuitum following balloon mitral valvotomy. The patient was treated with amikacin and clarithromycin but did not respond. She developed haemolytic anaemia as the terminal event.
分枝杆菌很少引起心内膜感染。我们描述了一名患者在二尖瓣球囊成形术后发生福氏分枝杆菌性心内膜炎和脑膜炎的临床过程。该患者接受了阿米卡星和克拉霉素治疗,但无反应。她最终发展为溶血性贫血。
