Esta bacteria es reconocida como agente causal de endocarditis infecciosa; la identificación inmediata de este microorganismo es vital, debido a su naturaleza fulminante. Se presentó el caso de un paciente masculino de 60 años de edad, alcohólico crónico y dedicado a la cría de cerdos, con un cuadro de: fiebre, disnea a grandes esfuerzos, petequias en miembros inferiores y edemas perimaleolares. El ecocardiograma reveló la presencia de vegetaciones en la válvula tricúspidea, lo que generaba insuficiencia tricúspidea grave. En los hemocultivos se aisló Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Se realizó el tratamiento con penicilina y se constató una mejoría clínica evidente del paciente. Desafortunadamente, este falleció por una parada cardíaca en el segundo día del recambio valvular.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a gram-positive, immobile, non-sporulated bacillus, considered a zoonosis, for which man is an accidental host. This bacterium is recognized as a causal agent of infectious endocarditis; immediate identification of this microorganism is vital, due to its fulminant nature. We present a 60-year-old male patient, chronic alcoholic and pig breeder, with a history of fever, dyspnea on great exertion, petechiae in the lower limbs and perimalleolar edema. The echocardiogram revealed the presence of tricuspid valve vegetations, which generated severe tricuspid regurgitation. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from blood cultures. Treatment with penicillin was carried out and an evident clinical improvement of the patient was verified. Unfortunately, he died of a cardiac arrest on the second day after valve replacement.]]></p></abstract>
