Described herein is a 68-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis who was found to have methicillin-sensitive endocarditis with an associated ring abscess that extended into the left atrioventricular sulcus and ruptured into the pericardial space causing pericardial effusion. In contrast to the frequency of infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve, ring abscess associated with infection of the mitral valve is uncommon.
本文介绍了一名68岁的终末期肾病患者,其正在接受血液透析,被发现患有对甲氧西林敏感的心内膜炎,并伴有一个环状脓肿,该脓肿延伸至左房室沟并破裂进入心包腔,导致心包积液。与累及主动脉瓣的感染性心内膜炎的发生率不同,与二尖瓣感染相关的环状脓肿并不常见。
