Abstract

Two patients with poor oral hygiene developed Neisseria sicca endocarditis, one after probable intravenous drug abuse and Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis and the other after a periodontal surgical procedure. Both experienced significant embolic phenomena and both required 6 or more weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy. The diagnosis of N. sicca endocarditis must be considered when this organism is isolated from blood cultures in patients with emboli.

摘要

两名口腔卫生较差的患者发生了干燥奈瑟菌性心内膜炎，其中一名在可能的静脉药物滥用和金黄色葡萄球菌性心内膜炎后发病，另一名在牙周手术后发病。两人均出现明显的栓塞现象，且均需要接受6周或更长时间的静脉抗生素治疗。当在有栓塞的患者血培养中分离出该菌时，必须考虑干燥奈瑟菌性心内膜炎的诊断。
