Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a native valve infective endocarditis cause by Escherichia Coli in a 7 years old child. He presented with a one week history of fever and bilateral knee pains. He had been in a health centre where a malaria treatment and antibiotics were administered. The child was acutely ill and had a mitral valve regurgitation murmur at auscultation. Cardiac echography revealed a vegetation on the anterior mitral leaflet. Blood culture was positive for Escherichia coli. The child fully recovered after a 4 weeks course of appropriate antibiotics.
RÉSUMÉ
Nous présentons un cas d’endocardite infectieuse sur valve native causée par Escherichia coli chez un enfant de 7 ans. Il a été amené en consultation pour une fièvre et une gonalgie bilatérale évoluant depuis une semaine. Il avait été dans un centre de santé où un traitement antipaludique et des antibiotiques ont été administrés. L’enfant présentait un état général altéré et un souffle d’insuffisance mitrale à l’auscultation. L’échocardiographie a révélé une végétation sur le feuillet antérieur de la valve mitrale. L’hémoculture était positive à Escherichia coli. L’enfant s’est complètement rétabli après 4 semaines de traitement antibiotique approprié.
