Abstract

Gram-negative bacteria are common causative microorganisms for bacteremia, but these microorganisms responsible for a small portion of endocarditis, which is approximately 5-10% of all cases of infective endocarditis. Endocarditis caused by gram-negative bacteria is seen in patients who use intravenous drug abusers and has prosthetic valve. A 52 years old patient who has diabetes mellitus and rheumatic valve disease since about 10 years admitted to our hospital to investigate his complain of fever. Vegetations at both mitral and tricuspid valves were determined by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. We diagnosed, that is Escherichia Coli endocarditis with involvment mitral and tricuspid valve, because of positive repetitive Escherichia Coli blood culture. As a result, when clinical aspect is fitting for infective endocarditis, although positive blood culture for gram negative microorganism is present, the diagnose should not be miss in patients with diabetes mellitus. Echocardiography is very useful tool in clinical diagnose.

Özet

Gram negatif bakteriler sıklıkla bakteriyemiye yol açarlar ancak nadiren endokardite neden olurlar. Gram negatif bakterilerin oluşturduğu endokarditler sıklıkla intravenöz ilaç kullanıcıları ve protez kapak hastalarında görülür ve endokardit vakalarının az bir kısmını (% 5-10) oluştururlar. On yıldır diabetes mellitus ve romatizmal kapak hastalığı öyküsü olan 52 yaşında hasta, yüksek ateş etyolojisini araştırmak üzere yatırıldı. Hastanın yapılan transtorasik ve transözafagial ekokardiografilerinde, hem mitral hem de triküspit kapakta vegetasyonlar saptandı. Tekrarlanan kan kültürlerinde Escherichia Coli üretilerek mitral ve triküspit kapak tutulumlu Escherichia Coli endokarditi tanısı konuldu. Sonuç olarak diabetes mellitusu olan hastalarda infektif endokardite uyan klinik tablo varsa, kan kültüründen gram negatif mikroorganizmalar izole edilse bile tanının atlanmaması gerekir. Ekokardiyografi tanı için oldukça kullanışlı bir araçtır.
