Abstract

CHAIN, Sergio et al. Nocardia endocarditis in aortic and tricuspid native valves. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.67, n.3, pp.279-281. ISSN 0025-7680.

Nocardia endocarditis in native valve is an uncommon infection that usually arises in immunodepressed patients. We report a 51-year-old man diagnosed as having Nocardia endocarditis in aortic and tricuspid native valves, which received antimicrobial therapy and required aortic valve replacement. In 6 month follow up the patient remained asymptomatic with good clinical evolution.

Keywords : Nocardia; Endocarditis; Native valve.
