A case of Listeria monocytogenes endocarditis in a patient with mitral prosthetic valve, left atrial thrombus and colonic adenocarcinoma is reported. Vegetations were not demonstrated by transesophageal echocardiography and the clinical course was benign and without complications. Cure was achieved with antibiotic therapy, and surgery was not required. These features suggest that atrial thrombus could be the source of infection.
报告了一例患有二尖瓣人工瓣膜、左心房血栓和结肠腺癌的患者发生单核细胞增生李斯特菌心内膜炎的病例。经食管超声心动图未显示赘生物，临床病程呈良性且无并发症。通过抗生素治疗实现了治愈，无需进行手术。这些特征表明心房血栓可能是感染源。
