Campylobacter fetus infection in man is rare. Few cases of Campylobacter endocarditis have been described, and none have been associated with a prosthetic heart valve. We have reported a case of Campylobacter fetus ssp fetus on a prosthetic mitral valve in a 48-year-old woman who was treated successfully with penicillin and streptomycin (and later with gentamicin). Replacement of the prosthetic valve was done because of stenosis and vegetations. Pathologic examination showed vegetations on a calcified prosthesis, but no bacteria were seen.
人感染胎儿弯曲杆菌较为罕见。很少有弯曲杆菌性心内膜炎的病例被描述，且无一例与人工心脏瓣膜相关。我们报告了一例48岁女性人工二尖瓣上感染胎儿亚种胎儿弯曲杆菌的病例，该患者接受青霉素和链霉素（后来加用庆大霉素）治疗后成功康复。因狭窄和赘生物而进行了人工瓣膜置换。病理检查显示钙化人工瓣膜上有赘生物，但未发现细菌。
