Infectious endocarditis is a feared complication of procedures causing bacteremia. Gastrointestinal procedures cause bacteremia, but are seldom followed by infectious endocarditis. Of nine cases found in the English literature, only five have convincing evidence that endocarditis resulted from the gastrointestinal procedure. I present a new case of endocarditis due to Streptococcus sanguis type II after fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy.
感染性心内膜炎是导致菌血症的操作引发的一种可怕并发症。胃肠道操作会导致菌血症，但很少继发感染性心内膜炎。在英文文献中发现的9例病例中，只有5例有令人信服的证据表明心内膜炎是由胃肠道操作引起的。我报告1例因II型血链球菌感染导致的心内膜炎病例，该病例发生在纤维乙状结肠镜检查之后。
