Infection
-
Streptobacillus moniliformis is the causative agent of rat bite fever, with endocarditis being a rare but well-documented complication. We report the case of an HIV-positive man who acquired S. moniliformis endocarditis through a rat bite. ⋯ At the end of the antibiotic therapy he suffered a generalized Candida albicans infection, which was treated with fluconazole for 1 week. He was subsequently discharged in a satisfactory condition.
