To the Editor: I read with interest the recent case report by Lim and colleagues on Chromobacterium violaceum endocarditis.1 References to the article do not include a report of a similar case published 20 years ago, also in the MJA.2 Perhaps reference searches can be enhanced — otherwise, identifying such similar cases falls to recollected experience (I was the initial treating doctor in the 1988 case) or an improbably capacious memory in the author or reader.
