报告1例因纹状棒杆菌引起的人工二尖瓣心内膜炎，经内科治疗。虽然这种细菌已在少数天然瓣膜心内膜炎病例中被描述，但仅有两例人工主动脉瓣心内膜炎病例被报道。我们在此报告首例由纹状体引起的人工二尖瓣心内膜炎成功的内科治疗病例，强调其复杂的临床过程，并回顾有关诊断和治疗方法的文献。
A rare case of prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis due to Corynebacterium striatum, treated medically, is reported. While this organism has been described in a few cases of native valve endocarditis, only two cases of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis have been reported. We herewith report the first case of successful medical treatment of prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis due to C. striatum, emphasizing the complicated clinical course and reviewing the literature regarding diagnosis and therapeutical approach.
