    Author: Boo TW, Cryan B, O'Donnell A, Fahy G.
    Journal: J Infect; 2005 Jan; 50(1):81-3. PubMed ID: 15603847.
    Abstract:
    Veillonella species is a rare cause of endocarditis. We report a case of a 49-year-old man with Veillonella parvula prosthetic valve endocarditis who presented with acute cardiac failure due to valvular dehiscence. His clinical course was complicated by cortical blindness and limb paresis as a result of cerebral embolism. The endocarditis was successfully treated with urgent valve replacement surgery and a prolonged course of metronidazole.
