Clostridioides difficile from intracardiac vegetation

Rama Chaudhry et al. Anaerobe. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Extracolonic manifestations by Clostridioides difficile are uncommon. Here, we report a case of monomicrobial C. difficile intracardiac vegetation in a 11-year-old girl with a predisposed heart disease who responded well to the treatment. C. difficile has been isolated from a variety of specimens outside the intestinal tract and is not always associated with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Keywords: Diarrhea; Endocarditis; Extracolonic Clostridioides difficile.
