龋齿罗氏菌是一种罕见的心内膜炎的原因。它最常发生在有心脏病史的患者中。虽然临床过程通常是亚急性的，但其并发症发生率很高。特别是，报告的肌层动脉瘤的发病率高达25%。青霉素是治疗的首选，但其他并发症可能需要及时手术干预。据我们所知，本文报道了首例由R.龋齿性心内膜炎
Rothia dentocariosa is a rare cause of endocarditis. It occurs most frequently in patients with prior heart conditions. Although the clinical course is typically subacute, it has a high rate of complications. In particular, the reported incidence of mycotic aneurysms is as high as 25%. Penicillin is the treatment of choice, but additional complications may necessitate prompt surgical intervention. As far as we know, this paper reports the first case of repeated subarachnoid hemorrhages due to R. dentocariosa endocarditis.
