Abstract
Among the Elizabethkingia species, E. meningosepticum is the most pathogenic member of genus. As primarily opportunistic pathogens, they majorly cause meningitis in premature and newborn infants and rarely cause pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis in immunocom-promised adults.Here we describe an adult patient with an E.meningosepticum endocarditis who had no underlying diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of this type in China.
