Abstract

We describe the first case of Moraxella lacunata definite native valve endocarditis in a patient with previously normal mitral valves. The disease was complicated with embolizations of the brain and spleen. After 6 weeks of antimicrobial treatment, valvular replacement was performed. The clinical course and diagnostic findings suggest that Moraxella lacunata possesses high aggressiveness leading to progressive valvular destruction and embolizations.

摘要

我们描述了首例在二尖瓣先前正常的患者中发生的腔隙莫拉菌所致的明确的自体瓣膜心内膜炎。该疾病并发脑和脾栓塞。经过6周的抗菌治疗后，进行了瓣膜置换术。临床病程和诊断结果表明，腔隙莫拉菌具有高度侵袭性，可导致进行性瓣膜破坏和栓塞。
