An unusual infection of Chryseomonas luteola: Infective endocarditis in a patient with ventricular septal defect

Chryseomonas luteola: altta yatan bir hastalığı olan veya vücutta yabancı cisimle bağlantılı infeksiyonlara ve bakteriyemiye neden olan nadir etken mikroorganizmalardandır.Biz burada ventriküler septal defekti olan ve bilinen risk faktörlerinin herhangi birisini taşımayan hastada gelişen Chryseomonas luteola endokarditini sunduk.

Ventriküler septal defekti olan hastada Chryseomonas luteola ile oluşan infektif endokardit: Vaka sunumu

Chryseomonas luteola has been recognized as an uncommon cause of bacteremia and infections in patients with underlying diseases or in association with foreign body. We presented an infective endocarditis in a patient with ventricular septal defect due to C. luteola in the absence of known risk factors.
