  • Title: Streptococcus gordonii-associated infective endocarditis in a girl with Barlow's mitral valve disease.
    Author: Komorovsky RR, Boyarchuk OR, Synytska VO.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2019 Aug; 29(8):1099-1100. PubMed ID: 31280738.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gordonii in an 11-year-old girl with Barlow's mitral valve disease. The differential diagnosis of rheumatic carditis and infective endocarditis was difficult as the patient fulfilled the Jones criteria. Vegetation on the mitral valve which became evident later in course of the disease and positive blood culture allowed diagnosing "definite" infective endocarditis.
