A 53-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin lymphoma underwent an autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT). Incomplete reconstitution necessitated the use of a long-term central venous catheter. One year after BMT she presented with fever. Echocardiography revealed vegetations on the tricuspid valve. Gram-positive rods grown from blood cultures and catheter tip were identified as Oerskovia xanthineolytica. We report the first case of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism.
一名53岁的非霍奇金淋巴瘤女性接受了自体骨髓移植（BMT）。由于造血重建不完全，需要使用长期中心静脉导管。骨髓移植一年后，她出现发热。超声心动图显示三尖瓣有赘生物。血培养和导管尖端培养出的革兰氏阳性杆菌被鉴定为解黄嘌呤厄氏菌。我们报告了首例由该菌引起的天然瓣膜心内膜炎病例。
