A case is reported of prosthetic valve endocarditis due to Neisseria elongata subsp. elongata in a patient with Klinefelter's syndrome. This is believed to be only the third case of endocarditis reported due to this subspecies. N. elongata is difficult to identify, and is morphologically and biochemically similar to Kingella spp. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is useful for identification. The patient was successfully treated with amoxicillin and gentamicin, followed by ceftriaxone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007713 Klinefelter Syndrome A form of male HYPOGONADISM, characterized by the presence of an extra X CHROMOSOME, small TESTES, seminiferous tubule dysgenesis, elevated levels of GONADOTROPINS, low serum TESTOSTERONE, underdeveloped secondary sex characteristics, and male infertility (INFERTILITY, MALE). Patients tend to have long legs and a slim, tall stature. GYNECOMASTIA is present in many of the patients. The classic form has the karyotype 47,XXY. Several karyotype variants include 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY, and mosaic patterns ( 46,XY/47,XXY; 47,XXY/48,XXXY, etc.). 48,XXYY Syndrome,49,XXXXY Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndrome, Variants,Klinefelter's Syndrome,XXXY Males,XXY Syndrome,XXY Trisomy,Xxyy Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndromes,Klinefelter Syndromes, Variants,Klinefelters Syndrome,Syndrome, Klinefelter,Syndrome, Klinefelter's,Syndrome, Variants Klinefelter,Syndrome, XXY,Syndrome, Xxyy,Syndromes, Klinefelter,Syndromes, Variants Klinefelter,Syndromes, XXY,Syndromes, Xxyy,Trisomies, XXY,Trisomy, XXY,XXXY Male,XXY Syndromes,XXY Trisomies,Xxyy Syndromes
