Abstract
Rothia mucilaginosa is an infrequent opportunistic pathogen that affects immunocompromised patients, with a high affinity to prosthetic devices. Infections in immunocompetent individuals are extremely rare and usually related to pre-existing valvular heart disease. We report the first case of Rothia endocarditis in an immunocompetent patient without an underlying valve disease.
摘要
黏液罗氏菌是一种罕见的机会致病菌，可感染免疫功能低下的患者，对人工装置具有高度亲和力。免疫功能正常个体发生感染极为罕见，通常与既往存在的心脏瓣膜病有关。我们报告了首例无潜在瓣膜病的免疫功能正常患者发生罗氏菌性心内膜炎的病例。
