Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Bacterial endocarditis is a serious infection affecting heart valves.
  • Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Pasteurella dagmatis is an uncommon pathogen, typically associated with animal bites.

Observation:

  • A rare case of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) caused by Pasteurella dagmatis is presented.
  • This represents the first documented instance of PVE due to P. dagmatis in English medical literature.
  • Previous reports include two cases of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism.

Findings:

  • The clinical presentation and management of this PVE case are detailed.
  • A review of the two previously reported native valve endocarditis cases due to P. dagmatis is included.

  • The discussion encompasses treatment strategies for Pasteurella-induced endocarditis.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for Pasteurella dagmatis to cause severe cardiac infections, including PVE.
    • Emphasizes the need for considering P. dagmatis in the differential diagnosis of endocarditis, especially in patients with relevant exposure history.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the appropriate management and treatment of rare bacterial endocarditis.
