摘要
We describe the case of a prosthetic valve endocarditis in a 72-year-old woman. Corynebacterium striatum was isolated in the blood samples. This organism has been described in a few cases of native valve endocarditis, but this is the first case reported of prosthetic valve endocarditis. (C) 2002 The British Infection Society.
