Bacterial endocarditis caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a rare disease. A 48-year-old man who had a Starr-Edwards aortic valve prosthesis inserted in 1972 was admitted for evaluation of confusion, headaches, anorexia, weight loss, diarrhea and weakness. Six blood cultures yielded gram-negative organisms which were subsequently identified as A. actinomycetemcomitans. Treatment with ampicillin and gentamicin resulted in cure which has been maintained after an observation period of eleven months. This represents the second report of A. actinomycetemcomitans endocarditis in a patient with a prosthetic valve.
由伴放线放线杆菌引起的细菌性心内膜炎是一种罕见疾病。一名48岁男性，于1972年植入了斯塔尔-爱德华兹主动脉瓣人工瓣膜，因出现意识模糊、头痛、厌食、体重减轻、腹泻和乏力而入院评估。六次血培养培养出革兰氏阴性菌，随后鉴定为伴放线放线杆菌。氨苄西林和庆大霉素治疗后治愈，经过11个月的观察期病情持续缓解。这是人工瓣膜患者伴放线放线杆菌性心内膜炎的第二篇报道。
