| Abstract: | We report the case of a 69-year-old man with an aortic valve bioprosthesis in whom a diagnosis of Salmonella typhimurium prosthetic valve endocarditis was made. During the prolonged hospital admission early aggressive antibiotic therapy and early valve replacement surgery were the deciding factors enabling him to survive this otherwise lethal condition. |
