A 26-year-old male intravenous drug user (IDU) presented twice within 6 months with relapsed polymicrobial infective endocarditis (IE) due to Eikenella corrodens and Streptococcus constellatus after completing two courses of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. This report points to relapsing endocarditis as a clinical entity that warrants attention in IDUs when E. corrodens or S. constellatus are causative agents of IE.
一名 26 岁男性静脉药物使用者（IDU）在完成两疗程适当抗菌治疗后，因埃肯菌属（Eikenella corrodens）和星座链球菌（Streptococcus constellatus）导致复发性多微生物感染性心内膜炎（IE），在 6 个月内两次就诊。本报告提示复发性心内膜炎是 IDU 中应关注的临床实体，当埃肯菌属或星座链球菌引起 IE 时更是如此。
