The first two cases of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans endocarditis in Israel are reported. One involved a 67 year old woman with mitral insufficiency and the other, a 48 year old alcoholic male with bioprosthetic mitral valve. The organism grew in three of seven and seven of fourteen blood culture specimens, taken during the first two or three days of hospitalization respectively. Blood cultures became positive after incubation for seven days. The first patient recovered after therapy with penicillin and an aminoglycoside, and the second one is still being treated. Previously described cases of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans endocarditis are reviewed.
本文报告了以色列首例两例伴放线放线杆菌心内膜炎病例。一例为一名67岁患有二尖瓣关闭不全的女性，另一例为一名48岁植入生物人工二尖瓣的酗酒男性。该病原体分别在住院的头两三天采集的7份血培养标本中的3份以及14份血培养标本中的7份中生长。血培养在孵育7天后呈阳性。第一名患者在接受青霉素和氨基糖苷类药物治疗后康复，第二名患者仍在接受治疗。本文还对先前描述的伴放线放线杆菌心内膜炎病例进行了综述。
