One month after a 21-year-old female drug addict with tricuspid staphylococcal endocarditis seemed to have been cured by antibiotic therapy she relapsed. Further antibiotic treatment for one month failed to control the infection. Tricuspidectomy was when performed and the infection was eliminated. A valve prosthesis was inserted 3 months later. She recovered and is now fully restored to health. We recommend this two-stage surgical technique in similar cases.
一名21岁患三尖瓣葡萄球菌性心内膜炎的女性吸毒者,在接受抗生素治疗看似已治愈1个月后复发。进一步抗生素治疗1个月未能控制感染。随后进行了三尖瓣切除术,感染得以消除。3个月后植入了瓣膜假体。她康复了,现在已完全恢复健康。我们建议在类似病例中采用这种两阶段手术技术。
