摘要
Reported here is a case of Eikenella corrodens aortic valve infective endocarditis presenting as a stroke in a previously healthy 31-year-old man. The patient had no evidence of structural heart disease and reported no history of intravenous drug use or recent dental treatment. There are no other cases reported in the available literature in which this microorganism has caused endocarditis in the absence of recognised risk factors.
