Abstract:
The epidemiology of salmonellosis has undergone a change during the last 2 years. An increase in the number of cases of enteritis and sepsis caused by Salmonella enteritidis has been observed. We report on the case of a 65-year-old woman with mitral valve endocarditis due to Salmonella enteritidis. The infective endocarditis occurred without prior episodes of gastroenteritis. After having undergone prosthetic valve replacement and antibiotic therapy with ciprofloxacin, the patient recovered completely.
