Actinomyces rarely causes endocarditis with 25 well-described cases reported in the literature in the past 75 years. We present a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) caused by Actinomyces naeslundii. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of endocarditis due to this organism and the second report of PVE caused by Actinomyces.
放线菌极少引起心内膜炎,在过去75年的文献中仅报道了25例详细描述的病例。我们报告一例由内氏放线菌引起的人工瓣膜心内膜炎(PVE)。据我们所知,这是文献中关于这种微生物引起的心内膜炎的首例报道,也是放线菌引起的PVE的第二例报道。
