Abstract

Brucella endocarditis is a rare but fatal complication of human brucellosis. We report a case of an aortic and mitral valve endocarditis due to brucellosis in a patient with rheumatic heart disease. He has been successfully treated with combination of antimicrobial therapy and valve replacement surgery. In the literature, the combination of antimicrobial therapy and early valve replacement or antimicrobial therapy alone are both recommended. Patients with Brucella endocarditis should be evaluated by a team comprising an infectious diseases and clinical microbiology specialist, a cardiologist and a cardiovascular surgeon, and decisions on treatment modality and its duration should be individualized according to the patients.

Özet

Endokardit, brusellozun nadir görülen ancak en ölümcül komplikasyonudur. Bu yazıda romatizmal kalp kapak hastalığı olan ve bruselloza bağlı aort ve mitral kapak endokarditi gelişen bir olgu sunulmuştur. Medikal ve cerrahi tedavi kombinasyonuyla kür sağlanmıştır. Literatürde Brucella endokarditi tedavisinde sadece medikal tedaviyi önerenlerin yanı sıra medikal ve cerrahi tedavi birlikteliğini önerenler de bulunmaktadır. Bu hastalar infeksiyon hastalıkları ve klinik mikrobiyoloji, kardiyoloji ve kalp ve damar cerrahisi uzmanlarından oluşan bir ekip tarafından değerlendirilmeli; tedavinin şekli ve süresi hastaya göre kişiselleştirilmelidir.
