These complications ultimately led to systemic and paravalvular complications&#44; with the formation of a pseudoaneurysm and several abscesses that were well documented on the transesophageal echocardiogram&#46; The value of this exam in the diagnosis and management of IE is indisputable&#44; with good sensitivity and specificity for the detection of vegetations and paravalvular complications&#46; However&#44; in the presence of mechanical prosthetic valves&#44; as in the case of our patient&#44; a negative transesophageal echocardiogram significantly decreases the likelihood of IE&#44; but does not completely exclude the diagnosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> In such scenarios the clinical course assumes particular importance for a correct diagnosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> This may explain the absence of findings suggestive of IE on the patient&#39;s first transesophageal echocardiogram&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally&#44;

we report a case of a fatal IE with extensive paravalvular complications in a patient with a mechanical prosthetic aortic valve&#44; occurring some weeks after the removal of a foreign body lodged in the esophagus&#46; While the origin of the bacteremia may be controversial in this case&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S&#46; milleri</span> has been identified in the normal gastrointestinal mucosa<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> and has been previously described as an uncommon agent of IE&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> In a study comparing the clinical course of IE among <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Streptococcus</span> species&#44;

These complications ultimately led to systemic and paravalvular complications&#44; with the formation of a pseudoaneurysm and several abscesses that were well documented on the transesophageal echocardiogram&#46; The value of this exam in the diagnosis and management of IE is indisputable&#44; with good sensitivity and specificity for the detection of vegetations and paravalvular complications&#46; However&#44; in the presence of mechanical prosthetic valves&#44; as in the case of our patient&#44; a negative transesophageal echocardiogram significantly decreases the likelihood of IE&#44; but does not completely exclude the diagnosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> In such scenarios the clinical course assumes particular importance for a correct diagnosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> This may explain the absence of findings suggestive of IE on the patient&#39;s first transesophageal echocardiogram&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally&#44; while in our patient the foreign body itself could have been responsible for the bacteremia&#44; the question arises of the need for prophylactic antibiotic therapy in medical procedures&#46; In recent years&#44; recommendations for prophylactic antibiotic therapy have changed significantly&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> In fact&#44; in the light of new evidence showing that IE is more likely to occur following bacteremia due to daily routine activities than following medical procedures&#44;

there are anecdotal reports supporting this practice based on clinical cases in which the gastrointestinal system was the portal of entry for the IE&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> Irrespective of the recommendations in the guidelines&#44; it should be borne in mind that any condition predisposing to bacteremia is a foundation for the development of IE&#44; particularly in high-risk patients&#46; This recognition may lead to a more careful medical work-up after febrile illness in patients exposed to a potential source of bacteremia&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Conclusion</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The present case highlights the variability in the clinical presentation of IE depending on the microbiological agent responsible for the disease&#44;
