Klebsiella oxytoca Endocarditis With Complete Heart Block
Gram-negative bacterial endocarditis causes 5% of all bacterial endocarditis. Among gram-negative bacteria, Klebsiella species are rare causes of native valve endocarditis. Klebsiella oxytoca is an extremely rare subspecies that can infrequently cause endocarditis and is associated with poor outcome. We report a case of Klebsiella oxytoca endocarditis in an elderly man who initially presented w...

cases of CHB. In these cases, a common finding, in addition to involvement of the aortic valve, was extension of the infection to adjacent structures resulting in cardioaortic fistulae. CHB likely resulted from extension of infection to the major conduction tissues. Five of the six patients with CHB died suddenly while in the hospital. One patient was treated with electric pacing while the infe...
متن کاملHyperkalemia-induced complete heart block
Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...
متن کاملMyocardial abscess with complete heart block complicating anaerobic infective endocarditis.
Myocardial abscess caused by anaerobic infection is rare and usually occurs in cases of myocardial infarction, in which it may be related to areas of low oxygen tension. Bacteroides CDC group F-1 infective endocarditis complicated by an aortic valve ring abscess with resultant complete heart block developed in a patient with steroid dependent systemic lupus erythematosus. The genitourinary syst...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella oxytoca Strain JKo3
Klebsiella oxytoca can be either pathogenic or beneficial, depending on conditions. These opposing characteristics have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the complete sequence of the K. oxytoca JKo3 genome, consisting of a single circular chromosome of 5,943,791 bp and four plasmids.
