title: A case of Leclercia adecarboxylata endocarditis in a woman with endometrial cancer.
abstract: Leclercia adecarboxylata, a motile, gram-negative bacillus of the enterobacteriaceae family, is rarely recovered as a pathogen. We report an exceptionally rare case of L. adecarboxylata endocarditis complicated by embolization of the kidney and spleen in a 48-year-old woman with endometrial cancer. After 4 weeks of antimicrobial treatment, she recovered without sequelae.
