Gemella morbillorum was isolated from the blood of a 38-year-old woman with a 4-week history of fever. An echocardiogram showed a left atrial tumor. The patient was successfully treated by antibiotic therapy and early surgical excision of the tumor. Histological examination of the excised tumor revealed a typical myxoma with infiltrates of neutrophils and remnants of bacteria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of infected left atrial myxoma caused by G. morbillorum.
从一名有4周发热病史的38岁女性血液中分离出麻疹孪生球菌。超声心动图显示左心房有肿瘤。患者通过抗生素治疗和早期肿瘤手术切除得到成功治疗。切除肿瘤的组织学检查显示为典型的黏液瘤，伴有中性粒细胞浸润和细菌残留。据我们所知，这是首例由麻疹孪生球菌引起的感染性左心房黏液瘤的报道病例。
