: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.
