Recurrent <it>Staphylococcus warnerii </it>prosthetic valve endocarditis: A case report and review

Abstract

Abstract To our knowledge, there have been only six S. warneri endocarditis cases reported in the English-language literature (Medline: 1966 to April 2011). We report a case of recurrent S. warneri endocarditis in a patient with prosthetic valve and silicon mammoplasty and we also review the relevant literature.
