Infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Serratia liquefaciens has been reported in only 2 adults. We experienced the first pediatric (neonatal) case of IE caused by S. liquefaciens, with mitral valve vegetation 4 days after a palliative heart surgery. This report underscores the importance of treating for both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in IE cases until the blood cultures elucidate the details.
仅报告过2例由液化沙雷菌引起的感染性心内膜炎(IE)成人病例。我们遇到了首例由液化沙雷菌引起的小儿(新生儿)IE病例,患儿在姑息性心脏手术后4天出现二尖瓣赘生物。本报告强调了在血培养明确细节之前,对IE病例的革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌都进行治疗的重要性。
