We present a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gordonii in an 11-year-old girl with Barlow's mitral valve disease. The differential diagnosis of rheumatic carditis and infective endocarditis was difficult as the patient fulfilled the Jones criteria. Vegetation on the mitral valve which became evident later in course of the disease and positive blood culture allowed diagnosing "definite" infective endocarditis.
我们报告一例11岁患有巴洛氏二尖瓣病的女孩,由戈登链球菌引起感染性心内膜炎。由于该患者符合琼斯标准,风湿性心脏病和感染性心内膜炎的鉴别诊断较为困难。二尖瓣上的赘生物在病程后期变得明显,血培养呈阳性,从而确诊为“明确的”感染性心内膜炎。
