Parvimonas micra infective endocarditis

Dacryocystitis Involving Parvimonas micra and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Infection

“…P. micra has been reported as an infective cause of chronic periodontitis, endocarditis, renal abscesses, and psoas abscesses. [5][6][7] These reported findings were expected, given the organism is a normal part of gastrointestinal, oral, genital, and potentially skin flora. 2,8 Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, the aerobic infecting agents present in our patient's tear duct culture, are also components of normal skin flora and commonly implicated in nasolacrimal duct infections.…”
