First Case

Objective. To report the first case of human infection (infective endocarditis [IEI]) caused by Pasteurella gallinarum and to review the literature regarding IE caused by the genus Pasteurella. Setting. University hospital based. Patient. An adolescent boy who underwent successful correction for truncus arteriosus 10 years before the present illness. Results. Persistent fever, pallor, and a palpable spleen suggested IE clinically. Echocardiography documented vegetation in the conduit that was used for surgical correction. Blood cultures grew P. gallinarum and confirmed its role as the causative organism for IE in the patient. Conclusion. This case illustrates that IE may develop in a child with congenital heart disease several years after surgical intervention using material that is foreign to the body (conduit), and that such a complication may involve unusual pathogens. These observations emphasize the need for careful long-term follow-up of children with congenital heart disease even after successful surgical correction.
