Abstract
We report a case of a 79-y-old male with enterococcal endocarditis presenting with dysphagia and weight loss. The patient's longstanding underlying bacteremia was thought to have caused pro-inflammatory changes leading to alterations in the neuronal environment affecting peripheral nerve function. Dysphagia improved once antibiotic treatment was initiated.
摘要
我们报告一例79岁男性肠球菌性心内膜炎患者，表现为吞咽困难和体重减轻。患者长期存在的潜在菌血症被认为导致了促炎变化，进而引起影响外周神经功能的神经元环境改变。抗生素治疗开始后，吞咽困难有所改善。
