Listeria monocytogenes endocarditis.

B D Sheinman, T Evans, R Sage

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Listeria monocytogenes can cause fatal endocarditis, a rare but highly lethal infection. Misidentification as a contaminant may lead to underdiagnosis of this serious bacterial endocarditis.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Bacterial endocarditis is a serious infection affecting heart valves.
    • Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic pathogen with a potential role in endocarditis.

    Observation:

    • A fatal case of endocarditis caused by Listeria monocytogenes is presented.
    • This organism's diphtheroid morphology can lead to its misclassification as a contaminant.

    Findings:

    • Endocarditis due to Listeria monocytogenes is rare.
    • Cases of Listeria monocarditis exhibit a higher mortality rate compared to other bacterial causes.

    Implications:

    • The incidence of Listeria monocytogenes endocarditis may be underestimated.
