感染性心内膜炎是一种罕见但危及生命的疾病，在全球范围内都很常见。在心内膜炎中，来自口腔的微生物仍然占很大比例的病原体，可能来自日常牙科检查或侵入性手术。随着牙科手术前感染性心内膜炎抗生素预防的最新变化，当牙科手术后出现无差异脓毒症患者时，医生必须高度怀疑。作者提出一个病例感染性心内膜炎引起的戈多氏链球菌后引流牙脓肿。
Infective endocarditis is a rare but life-threatening disease seen across the globe. Organisms from the oral cavity still represent a large proportion of pathogens seen in endocarditis and can be from either daily dental routines or invasive procedures. With the recent changes to antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis prior to dental procedures, the physician must have a heightened degree of suspicion when presented with a patient with undifferenced sepsis following dental procedures. The authors present a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gordonii after the drainage of a dental abscess.
