Endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus warneri and necessitating valve replacement occurred in a previously healthy 32-year-old patient following vasectomy. No sign of an underlying valvular defect was noted during the operation. S. warneri is a recently identified species of coagulase-negative staphylococci. Endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci is uncommon in young, healthy patients with normal heart valves and has not previously been described as a complication of vasectomy. Similarly, infections caused by S. warneri have not previously been described in humans.
一名32岁既往健康的患者在输精管切除术后发生了由沃氏葡萄球菌引起的感染性心内膜炎,并需要进行瓣膜置换。手术过程中未发现潜在瓣膜缺陷的迹象。沃氏葡萄球菌是一种最近才被鉴定出的凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌。凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌引起的感染性心内膜炎在心脏瓣膜正常的年轻健康患者中并不常见,此前也未被描述为输精管切除术的并发症。同样,此前也未在人类中描述过由沃氏葡萄球菌引起的感染。
