A fatal case of Arcanobacterium pyogenes endocarditis in a man with no identified animal contact: case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Arcanobacterium pyogenes is a rare cause of infection in humans, mostly related to living in rural areas and to contacts with animals. We describe a case of fatal Arcanobacterium pyogenes endocarditis, confirmed by DNA sequencing, in a patient without typical epidemiological exposure.
