A case is described of bacterial endocarditis caused by Lancefield group D Streptococcus bovis. Because of its sensitivity to the less toxic antibiotics such as penicillin, the importance of laboratory differentiation from the more resistant enterococci is emphasized. Treatment in this case was complicated by penicillin allergy and cardiac failure. The condition finally responded to clindamycin therapy and aortic valve replacement.
本文描述了一例由兰斯菲尔德D组牛链球菌引起的细菌性心内膜炎病例。由于该菌对毒性较低的抗生素如青霉素敏感,强调了实验室将其与耐药性更强的肠球菌区分开来的重要性。该病例的治疗因青霉素过敏和心力衰竭而变得复杂。病情最终对克林霉素治疗和主动脉瓣置换术有了反应。
