We have described a patient with fatal Corynebacterium hemolyticum endocarditis on a native bicuspid aortic valve. This is the first report of endocarditis and the first fatal infection of any kind caused by Corynebacterium hemolyticum. This organism and other nondiphtheria corynebacteria must be considered as potentially serious pathogens in man.
我们描述了一名患有溶血性棒状杆菌心内膜炎的患者，其原生二叶式主动脉瓣受累，最终死亡。这是溶血性棒状杆菌引起的心内膜炎的首例报告，也是该菌引起的首例任何类型的致命感染。这种微生物及其他非白喉棒状杆菌必须被视为人类潜在的严重病原体。
