  • Title: Aortic and mitral valve endocarditis caused by Gemella morbillorum in a haemodialysis patient.
    Author: Zheng M, Ng OT, Teo BW.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2008 Dec; 49(12):e385-7. PubMed ID: 19122942.
    Abstract:
    Gemella morbillorum is part of the commensal flora of the upper respiratory tract, intestinal tract and genitourinary tract. On rare occasions, it causes endocarditis. We report a 67-year-old Chinese man with end-stage renal disease on maintenance intermittent haemodialysis, who developed Gemella morbillorum endocarditis complicated by severe aortic and mitral regurgitation. Most cases of Gemella morbillorum endocarditis have satisfactory outcomes with antibiotics or surgical treatment.
