Abstract

Streptococcus bovis recovered from blood cultures may represent bacteremia alone, bacteremia from an extravascular source, or endocarditis. Patients with S. bovis endocarditis frequently have a gastrointestinal focus. S. bovis has been associated with many gastrointestinal diseases and in particular with colon carcinoma. S. bovis endocarditis may be complicated by embolic events or osteomyelitis. Vertebral osteomyelitis is a rare complication of S. bovis endocarditis. We report the third known case of S. bovis endocarditis with vertebral osteomyelitis.

摘要

从血培养中分离出的牛链球菌可能仅代表菌血症、血管外源性菌血症或心内膜炎。牛链球菌心内膜炎患者常有胃肠道感染灶。牛链球菌与许多胃肠道疾病有关，尤其是与结肠癌有关。牛链球菌心内膜炎可能并发栓塞事件或骨髓炎。脊椎骨髓炎是牛链球菌心内膜炎罕见的并发症。我们报告了第三例已知的合并脊椎骨髓炎的牛链球菌心内膜炎病例。
