Candida tropicalis causing prosthetic valve endocarditis.
The incidence of endocarditis produced by the so-called "opportunists" as a complication of prosthetic valve surgery is progressively increasing in frequency and gradually transforming the clinical picture habitually associated with this disease. Candida endocarditis is an unusual but severe complication caused by Candida albicans or other fungal species. This case and a review of the literatur...
متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis caused by Pseudomonas luteola
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas luteola has been recognized as an uncommon cause of bacteremia and of infections in patients with underlying medical disorders. CASE PRESENTATION We isolated P. luteola from blood cultures in a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis developed 16 months after cardiac surgery. CONCLUSION P. luteola is a rare opportunistic agent, with a propensity of infecting valvul...
متن کاملNeurologic complications of late prosthetic valve endocarditis.
We reviewed the records of 20 patients with late prosthetic valve endocarditis who were hospitalized at the University of Iowa between 1985 and 1988. There were 14 men and six women, aged 20-80 (mean 57.9) years. The infected valves were mechanical in 11 patients (six aortic and five mitral) and bioprosthetic in the other nine. Echocardiography in 12 patients demonstrated vegetations in one. Am...

متن کاملMultidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Causing Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: A Genetic-Based Chronicle of Evolving Antibiotic Resistance
Background. Successful treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is thwarted by the emergence of antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation on prosthetic devices. Our aims were to decipher the molecular basis of resistance in a unique case of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) caused by MDR P. aeruginosa. Methods. Five sequential MDR P. aeruginosa bl...
