Abstract
Enfektif endokardit, gelişmiş tanı araçları ve geniş
tedavi seçeneklerine rağmen, özellikle Staphylococcus aureus’a bağlı ise,
yüksek morbidite ve mortalitesi olan ciddi bir enfeksiyöz durumdur. Etkili
antibiyotik rejimlerine rağmen, uygun hastalarda cerrahi müdahale kararı vermek
hayat kurtarıcı olabilmektedir. Bu raporda, ateş nedeniyle başvuran 59
yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunduk. Metisilin-duyarlı Staphylococcus aureus’un yol
açtığı aortik kapak endokarditi, AV tam blok, kapak perforasyonu, kalp
yetersizliği ve sistemik emboli ile komplike oldu.

Abstract
Infective endocarditis is a serious infectious
condition with high morbidity and mortality despite improved diagnostic tools
and expanded therapeutic options especially in cases caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Despite effective antibiotic regimens, deciding on surgical intervention in
appropriate patients can be lifesaving. In this report, we presented the case
of a 59-year-old man, admitted for fever, which was found to be the result of
methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus aortic valve endocarditis,
complicated by complete AV block, valvular perforation, heart failure, and systemic
embolism.
