Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious and life-threatening disease. Transplant recipients are at increased risk of acquiring serious infections. The most common organisms causing IE in solid organ transplant recipients are reported to be gram positive. IE due to Gram-negative organism has rarely been reported. We report 2 cases of renal transplant recipients who met the Duke's criteria for IE due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
感染性心内膜炎（IE）是一种严重且危及生命的疾病。移植受者发生严重感染的风险增加。据报道，实体器官移植受者中引起IE的最常见病原体为革兰氏阳性菌。由革兰氏阴性菌引起的IE鲜有报道。我们报告2例肾移植受者因铜绿假单胞菌感染符合杜克IE诊断标准。
