[A case report of active infectious endocarditis caused by MRSA with chronic renal failure].
A 62-year-old female, who had chronic renal failure treated by HD, was admitted to our hospital with fever. MRSA was identified by blood culture examination. Echocardiography revealed vegetations attached to the mitral valve. Mitral abscess was detected during operation. Mitral valve replacement was performed. We used ECUM and HD for the chronic renal failure during peri- and postoperative days. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful.
