Abstract

Eperythrozoonosis is a zoonosis transmitted from animals to humans. It is caused by bacteria in the genus Eperythrozoon. These bacteria have a high infection rate and can cause varying degrees of damage. This is the first case report of infective endocarditis caused by Eperythrozoon. The patient had a 30-day history of remittent fever accompanied by chills and progressive weakness and gradually recovered after 6 weeks of minocycline treatment.
