Kemik İliği Kültür Sonucu İle Tanı Alan Bir Enfektif Endokardit Vakası

Abstract

Introduction: There is a common difficuly in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis originating from the differences in the clinical presentations of these cases. Here, a case diagnosed with infective endocarditis as a result of the growth of Streptococcus oralis in the culture of bone marrow aspiration has been presented. Case: A 44-year-old male patient without an additional known disease was admitted to the hospital with the complaints of fever and fatigue. During the patient’s fever etiology, there were observed sources of infection neither in the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) nor in the thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computer tomography data. The results of the patients with bilateral inguinal and axillary the follow-up of the patient without fever, due to the fact that the patient had anemia, leukocytosis and lymphadenopathy, it was determined by the diagnostic bone marrow biopsy that there was an increase in the proportion of myeloid series which may be a secondary to infection. A growth of Streptococcus oralis was observed by the tests of the bone marrow aspiration growth material culture. A fourth degree mitral regurgitation was observed on the repeated TTE flail structures of the mitral valve in terms of infective endocarditis, and these structures were shown as vegetation in the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The treatment of the patient was determined as intravenous sulbactam ampicillin and gentamicin. A medical treatment with mitral valve replacement was performed on the patient. The patient without pathological findings during the control echocardiography. During the monitoring period, the patient did not face any problems. Conclusion: The different presentations of the infective endocarditis cases make it difficult to establish an accurate diagnosis. As in this case, the patient with no fever, with negative blood cultures, and with no vegetation in the first TTE, different clinical presentations should be considered in the etiology during the investigation of the reason for fever.
