Abstract
Gemella haemolysans is a rare pathogen in cases of infective endocarditis. We report a case of G. haemolysans infective endocarditis in a 93-year-old woman with preexisting heart valves disease. The blood culture grew G. haemolysans and the echocardiogram revealed a 1.0cm x 0.49cm mobile mass attached to anterior mitral leaflet. Her condition improved after 6 weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone.
