Mycobacterium fortuitum endocarditis and meningitis after balloon mitral valvotomy.

M T Kuruvila¹, P Mathews, M Jesudason, A Ganesh.

Abstract

Mycobacteria rarely cause endocardial infections. We describe the clinical course of a patient who developed endocarditis, and meningitis with Mycobacterium fortuitum following balloon mitral valvotomy. The patient was treated with amikacin and clarithromycin but did not respond. She developed haemolytic anaemia as the terminal event.
