Infective endocarditis (IE) caused by is rare. The true incidence rate of this pathogen is likely underestimated as this is easily misidentified as or . It is also associated with increased risk of complications such as systemic emboli. usually affects elderly males with underlying urological conditions. Here we present a case of IE with this rare in a young man with a bioprosthetic aortic valve, despite negative urine cultures.
由[病原体名称未给出]引起的感染性心内膜炎(IE)较为罕见。这种病原体的真实发病率可能被低估了,因为它很容易被误鉴定为[其他两种病原体名称未给出]或[另一种病原体名称未给出]。它还与系统性栓塞等并发症风险增加有关。[病原体名称未给出]通常影响患有潜在泌尿系统疾病的老年男性。在此,我们报告一例在一名植入生物人工主动脉瓣膜的年轻男性中由这种罕见的[病原体名称未给出]引起的IE病例,尽管尿液培养结果为阴性。
