Abstract

Streptococcus porcinus is a beta hemolytic streptococcus and was first isolated from swine in the year 1937. It can cause cellulitis, endocarditis, sepsis, cervical lymphadenitis and spontaneous abortions in animals, especially pigs. In humans the microorganism has been isolated from blood, wound, placenta, urine, cervix and vagina. A few case of invasive S. porcinus infections (bacteremia and brain abscess) have been reported to date. In available literature no case of endocarditis caused by S.porcinus was found to date. In this article we present the first reported case of Streptococcus porcinus endocarditis in humans; in a 29-year-old pregnant woman to emphasize that this organism can cause severe infections like infective endocarditis.

Streptococcus porcinus Endokarditi: İnsanlarda Bildirilen İlk Olgu

Abstract

Streptococcus porcinus ilk olarak 1937 yılında domuzdan izole edilen bir beta hemolitik streptokoktur. Hayvanlarda; özellikle domuzlarda selülit, endokardit, sepsis, servikal lenfadenit ve spontan düşüklere neden olabilir. İnsanlarda kan, yara, plasenta, idrar, serviks, vajinadan izole edilmiştir ve bugüne kadar az sayıda invaziv S. porcinus enfeksiyonu (bakteriyemi ve beyin absesi) bildirilmiştir. Ulaşılabilen literatürde Streptococcus porcinus'un neden olduğu endokardit olgusuna rastlanmamıştır. Bu yazıda 29 yaşında hamile bir kadında tanı koyduğumuz, insanlarda bildirilen ilk Streptococcus porcinus endokardit olgusunu, bu organizmanın infektif endokardit gibi ciddi enfeksiyonlara yol açabileceğini vurgulamak için sunuyoruz.
