Nocardial endocarditis of an aortic valve prosthesis.

G Ertl, K P Schaal, K Kochsiek.   

Abstract

The organism responsible for endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve was identified as Nocardia asteroides. The patient was treated with intravenous amikacin (250 mg four times a day) and intravenous imipenem (1.5 g four times a day). The valve was replaced under this new antibiotic regimen. This is the first report of survival after prosthetic valve nocardiosis.
