We report the case of an old man who was affected by an endocarditis related to Granulicatella adiacens, an uncommon bacteria, difficult to isolate and responsible for an important morbidity and mortality. Thus, it is mandatory to seek for endocarditis when this germ is demonstrated in order to start quickly an effective antibiotic treatment. Inversely, in the presence of unexplained endocarditis, further bacteriological investigations are needed to seek for this life nutrition deficient bacteria.
我们报告了一例老年男性病例，该患者患有与毗邻颗粒链菌相关的心内膜炎，这是一种罕见的细菌，难以分离，且会导致严重的发病率和死亡率。因此，当证实存在这种细菌时，必须排查心内膜炎，以便迅速开始有效的抗生素治疗。反之，在存在不明原因的心内膜炎时，需要进一步进行细菌学检查以寻找这种营养缺陷型细菌。
