The brain abscess completely resolved after a surgical repair of the infected mitral valve and an additional 4 weeks of antimicrobial therapy. Based on a review of all previous reports of N. elongata endocarditis, including ours, this will remind physicians that invasive N. elongata infections should be managed and followed up cautiously, as surgical intervention is often required.
