In the few reported cases of Propionibacterium infective endocarditis involving prosthetic aortic valves, abscess is common and frequently requires surgery. We report a case of P. acnes infective endocarditis identified on prolonged blood cultures with aortic root abscess involving a Starr-Edwards valve. Intravenous antibiotics and valve replacement led to recovery.
在少数已报道的累及人工主动脉瓣的丙酸杆菌感染性心内膜炎病例中,脓肿很常见且常常需要手术治疗。我们报告一例通过长时间血培养确诊的痤疮丙酸杆菌感染性心内膜炎病例,该病例伴有主动脉根部脓肿,累及斯塔尔-爱德华兹瓣膜。静脉使用抗生素及瓣膜置换术使患者康复。
