ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of Gemella morbillorum endocarditis of the native aortic and mitral valves, and native vertebral osteomyelitis, in a 49-year-old male with HLA-B27 negative ankylosing spondylitis (AKS). G. morbillorum is a rare cause of endocarditis; the incidence of which is unknown. AKS may predispose patients to endocarditis through chronic valvulitis. G. morbillorum bacteremia in patients with AKS should prompt consideration of infective endocarditis and a search for possible portals of entry.
Les auteurs déclarent un rare cas d'endocardite à Gemella morbillorum des valves aortiques et mitrales naturelles et une ostéomyélite des vertèbres naturelles chez un homme de 49 ans atteint de spondylite ankylosante négative au HLA-B27 (SAK). Le G. morbillorum est une rare cause d'endocardite dont on ne connaît pas l'incidence. La SAK peut prédisposer à l'endocardite par une valvulite chronique. La bactériémie à G. morbillorum chez des patients atteints de SAK devrait inciter à envisager rapidement une endocardite infectieuse et à rechercher les voies d'entrée possibles.
