ABSTRACT
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is an uncommon pathogen in human, which causes zoonotic infection. The most common type of human disease with E. rhusiopathiae is a localized skin infection (erysipeloed). E. rhusiopathiae endocarditis is very rare, which usually develops in normal heart valves and causes a variety of complications leading to valve replacement. We described a case of E. rhusiopathiae endocarditis which developed in a 56-year-old man without a predisposing valvular heart disease. In this case, aortic valve and mitral valve were involved and emergency valve replacement was required, which improved patient's condition markedly. Intravenous therapy with penicillin G and subsequent ceftriaxone were given for 8 weeks after surgery and he was recovered without relapse.
