To assess the prevalence of gastrointestinal neoplasia in patients with Streptococcus bovis infectious endocarditis we performed a retrospective cohort analysis of all episodes of S. bovis infectious endocarditis treated at our institution between January 2000 through December 2014. Twenty-five patients were identified for this purpose. 12/25 patients received colonoscopy and 1/25 of the patients was assessed with CT colonography. Of the 13 who underwent colonic assessment, 11 were diagnosed with colonic neoplasms at different stages of development. In the absence of any strong contraindication, gastroenteroscopic evaluation in all patients diagnosed with S. bovis infectious endocarditis should be pursued.
为评估牛链球菌感染性心内膜炎患者胃肠道肿瘤的患病率,我们对2000年1月至2014年12月在我院接受治疗的所有牛链球菌感染性心内膜炎发作进行了回顾性队列分析。为此确定了25例患者。25例患者中有12例接受了结肠镜检查,25例患者中有1例接受了CT结肠成像评估。在接受结肠评估的13例患者中,11例被诊断为处于不同发展阶段的结肠肿瘤。在没有任何强烈禁忌症的情况下,应对所有诊断为牛链球菌感染性心内膜炎的患者进行胃镜评估。
