Nonsurgical management of mitral valve endocarditis due to Cardiobacterium valvarum in a patient with a ventricular septal defect.


ABSTRACT: Cardiobacterium valvarum is a relatively novel agent of infective endocarditis. We describe the first case of infective endocarditis due to this pathogen in the Asian Pacific. This case is unique in its involvement of the mitral valve as well as its clinical resolution exclusively resulting from treatment with antibiotics without resorting to valve replacement/explantation.
