We report the first case of Engyodontium album bioprosthetic valve endocarditis in a 44-year-old male with a history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. There is only one other report of Engyodontium album as a human pathogen. The present case supports the increased incidence of fungal endocarditis especially in patients receiving immunotherapy.
我们报告了首例由嗜银纤维齿菌引起的生物瓣心内膜炎病例,该患者为 44 岁男性,有幼年特发性关节炎病史。嗜银纤维齿菌作为人类病原体仅有另一例报告。本病例支持真菌性心内膜炎发病率增加,特别是在接受免疫治疗的患者中。
