Right-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple rare large vegetations on the pulmonary valve extending into pulmonary artery along with a large vegetation over the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.

A 27-year-old-man was admitted with fever and elevated inflammatory parameters, attributed to multiple small lung abscesses. At admission a continuous systolic--diastolic murmur was heard from the left sternal edge to the apex. Workup included transthoracic echocardiography, which revealed a restrictive perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) (velocity 4.89 m/s) partly covered by a previ...

A 28-year-old woman previously known to have a ventricular septal defect presented with fever, headache, abdominal pain and nausea. Positive blood culture of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and the detection of vegetation attached to the right ventricular wall near the ostium of the ventricular septal defect confirmed diagnosis of infective endocarditis. After four weeks' treatment ...
