Lactococcus garvieae septicaemia in a patient with artificial heart valves

Kristina Nadrah et al. Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2011 Nov.

Abstract

Lactococcus garvieae is usually an animal pathogen. Only a few cases of infections in humans have been described. We describe a case of an elderly patient with prosthetic heart valves with a septicaemia without infective endocarditis, and with a favourable clinical course.
