摘要：Actinomycotic endocarditis is a rare disease with only 18 documented cases to date. Most of these cases are sub-acute or chronic infections and usually lack the stigmata of classic endocarditis. This article reviews the details of previously published reports of endocarditis due to various species of actinomyces, along with consensus opinion on diagnosis and treatment. We also present our unique case of Actinomyces naeslundii infective endocarditis, the first case ever attributed to this organism in medical literature.
