Rare case of endocarditis-induced iron deficiency anemia
https://doi.org/10.30629/0023-2149-2024-102-9-10-767-771
Abstract
This clinical case highlights the significance of the problem of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with bacterial endocarditis (BE) and the necessity for a detailed study of the relationships between these diseases.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between BE and IDA, as well as to clarify the causal relationships between these conditions. Materials and
Methods. The study is based on the examination of a clinical case of a patient with BE and IDA, treated at the Research Institute of Clinical Cardiology No. 1 in Krasnodar, including an analysis of the effectiveness of iron infusion therapies and other treatment methods.
Results. A connection was found between bacteremia caused by Rothia mucilaginosa and the development of IDA. The relationship between trophic immunity and iron deficiency is also discussed.
Conclusions. The study confirms the hypothesis regarding the important role of Rothia mucilaginosa in the development of endocarditis on an aortic prosthesis and in the onset of IDA. Suggestions are made regarding the mechanisms of iron consumption by this microorganism and its influence on the development of iron deficiency states, which requires further research in this area.
