We report what is believed to be the first case of late-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Mycoplasma hominis in a case of blood culture-negative endocarditis. The objective of this report is to emphasize the use of a broad-range PCR technique for bacterial 16S rRNA genes in identifying the causative pathogen, thus enabling targeted antimicrobial treatment.
我们报告了首例疑似由血液培养阴性心内膜炎引起的迟发性人工瓣膜心内膜炎的病例,病原体为肺炎支原体。本报告的目的是强调使用广谱 PCR 技术检测细菌 16S rRNA 基因,以确定致病病原体,从而实现靶向抗菌治疗。
