Propionibacterium acnes is a weakly pathogenic commensal of the skin. When isolated from blood cultures it is often considered a contaminant. However, P. acnes may be responsible for severe infections and its role in certain cases of infectious endocarditis has now been definitely established.(1) We report a case of endocarditis due to P. acnes stemming from a ventricular patch and revealed by a gallium 67 scan.
痤疮丙酸杆菌是皮肤的一种弱致病性共生菌。从血培养中分离出该菌时,它通常被视为污染物。然而,痤疮丙酸杆菌可能导致严重感染,其在某些感染性心内膜炎病例中的作用现已明确确立。(1)我们报告一例由心室补片引起的痤疮丙酸杆菌所致的心内膜炎病例,该病例由镓67扫描发现。
