Aerococcus viridans Native Valve Endocarditis
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 155-158, 2013., 2013 Aerococcus viridans is an infrequent human pathogen and few cases of infective endocarditis have been reported. A case involving a 69‐year‐old man with colon cancer and hemicolectomy 14 years previously, without recurrence, is reported. A diagnosis of native mitral valve endocarditis was established on the basis of clinical presentation, characteristic

Culture‐Negative Endocarditis Diagnosed Using 16S DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 216-218, 2012., 2012 16S DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular amplification technique that can be used to identify bacterial pathogens in culture‐negative endocarditis. Bacterial DNA can be isolated from surgically excised valve tissue or from blood collected in EDTA vials. Use of this technique is particularly helpful in identifying the bacterial pathogen in

Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Mycotic Aneurysms Mimicking Vasculitis: A Case Report
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page e67-e68, 2012., 2012 The manifestation of infective endocarditis often resembles vasculitis. Approximately one in five infective endocarditis cases are referred initially to a nephrologist because of abnormal renal function or abnormal urinalysis; therefore, infection should be ruled out before diagnosing vasculitis.
