Abstract

Infective endocarditis is a serious infectious condition with high morbidity and mortality despite improved diagnostic tools and expanded therapeutic options especially in cases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Despite effective antibiotic regimens, deciding on surgical intervention in appropriate patients can be lifesaving. In this report, we presented the case of a 59-year-old man, admitted for fever, which was found to be the result of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus aortic valve endocarditis, complicated by complete AV block, valvular perforation, heart failure, and systemic embolism.

Özet

Enfektif endokardit, gelişmiş tanı araçları ve geniş tedavi seçeneklerine rağmen, özellikle Staphylococcus aureus’a bağlı ise, yüksek morbidite ve mortalitesi olan ciddi bir enfeksiyöz durumdur. Etkili antibiyotik rejimlerine rağmen, uygun hastalarda cerrahi müdahale kararı vermek hayat kurtarıcı olabilmektedir. Bu raporda, ateş nedeniyle başvuran 59 yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunduk. Metisilin-duyarlı Staphylococcus aureus’un yol açtığı aortik kapak endokarditi, AV tam blok, kapak perforasyonu, kalp yetersizliği ve sistemik emboli ile komplike oldu.
