Mycoplasma genitalium endocarditis. A case of a Mycoplasma genitalium prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis

We report a case of Mycoplasma genitalium prosthetic heart valve endocarditis (PVE) in a 42-year old woman presenting with acute aortic valve dysfunction 3 years after valve replacement. This is a previously undocumented manifestation of this bacterium which was diagnosed using broad-range PCR despite suspicion of a mechanical disinsertion.
