摘要：

Described here is the case of a patient with infective endocarditis in a prosthetic valve due to a Mycobacterium fortuitum-group organism. The patient was treated medically and had a favorable clinical response. This is only the second report of survival after Mycobacterium fortuitum-group endocarditis, and the first of survival without surgical intervention. The duration of treatment is not well defined for this patient, but life-long suppressive therapy will likely be required.
