A fatal case of endocarditis due to Listeria monocytogenes is reported. Case reports of endocarditis due to this organism are rare but indicate a higher mortality than with many other causes of bacterial endocarditis. The size of the problem may be underestimated because the organism has a "diphtheroid' appearance and may be incorrectly dismissed as a contaminant.
报告一例由单核细胞增生李斯特菌引起的致命性心内膜炎病例。由该病原体引起的心内膜炎病例报告罕见,但提示其死亡率高于许多其他细菌性心内膜炎病因。由于该病原体具有“类白喉杆菌”外观,可能会被错误地当作污染物而不予考虑,因此该问题的严重程度可能被低估。
