Abstract
Infective endocarditis caused by Parvimonas micra is rare. Its clinical features are presented in this systematic review. We also describe the case of an 82-year-old man with infective endocarditis and pacemaker infection due to P. micra. There are some reports of recurrence during antimicrobial therapy; hence, careful follow-up is necessary.
Keywords:
