摘要

本病例患者为72岁女性，精神状态改变，最终诊断为肺炎球菌性心内膜炎。体格检查未见异常心脏杂音。这个病例强调了一个重要的教训：肺炎球菌性心内膜炎虽然罕见，但却是一种危及生命的疾病，死亡率很高，应该是肺炎链球菌菌血症患者的首要考虑因素，即使心脏检查结果相对不明显。

Pneumococcal Endocarditis: Historical Insights and Modern Challenges.

The patient in this case was a 72-year-old female who presented with altered mental status and was ultimately diagnosed with pneumococcal endocarditis. On physical examination, no abnormal cardiac murmurs were detected. This case highlights an important lesson: pneumococcal endocarditis, though rare, is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate and should be a top consideration in patients with S. pneumoniae bacteremia, even when the cardiac exam is relatively unremarkable.
