Abstract

Rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (RGM) are a rare, often fatal cause of infective endocarditis. Although surgery has been the cornerstone of RGM endocarditis therapy, we present the first documented adult case of Mycobacterium fortuitum endocarditis cured with antibiotic therapy.

摘要

快速生长的非结核分枝杆菌（RGM）是感染性心内膜炎的一种罕见且通常致命的病因。尽管手术一直是RGM心内膜炎治疗的基石，但我们报告了首例经抗生素治疗治愈的成人偶然分枝杆菌心内膜炎的病例。
