MITRAL KAPAK PROLAPSUSU ILE İLIŞKILI ABIOTROPHIA DEFECTIVA ENDOKARDITI: OLGU SUNUMU

Abiotrophia defectiva, kültür negatif çıkan enfektif endokardit vakalarının nadir ancak önemli bir sebebidir. Kliniği sinsi bir ilerleme ile seyreden bu bakterinin sebep olduğu kültür negatif enfektif endokardit vakalarında klinisyenler dikkatli olmalıdır. Üstelik mitral kapak prolapsusu gibi predispozan faktörü olan hastalara daha yakın takip gerekmektedir
