Neisseria cinerea (N. cinerea) is known as a non-pathogenic microorganism. It colonizes in the oropharynx, upper respiratory tract, and less commonly in the genital tract of healthy subjects [1-4]. N. cinerea rarely causes infective diseases. Nevertheless, a variety of diseases caused by N. cinerea have been reported as follows; ophthalmia neonatorum [2], nosocomial pneumonia [3], recurrent bacterial peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient [5], proctitis [6], endocarditis [7], meningitis and septicemia [8]. However, in Korea, cases of acute septic arthritis and skin abscess [9], and meningitis [10] caused by N. cinerea were reported. A case of endocarditis caused by N. cinerea has not yet reported in Korea. We therefore report an experience of unusual case of endocarditis by N. cinerea and successful treatment of it. This is a case of infective endocarditis by N. cinerea in a 7-year-old Korean girl.
