A rare and difficult to diagnose case of subacute infective endocarditis caused by Bacillus cereus in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and Libman-Sacks endocarditis has been reported. Our aim is to highlight the importance of molecular methods such as MALDI-TOF and PCR to explain clinical and epidemiological issues about infections caused by unusual pathogen.
据报道，一名患有系统性红斑狼疮和Libman-Sacks心内膜炎的患者发生了由蜡样芽孢杆菌引起的罕见且难以诊断的亚急性感染性心内膜炎病例。我们的目的是强调诸如基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱（MALDI-TOF）和聚合酶链反应（PCR）等分子方法对于解释由不常见病原体引起的感染的临床和流行病学问题的重要性。
