Abstract

Right-sided infective endocarditis is rarely described in the absence of intravenous drug addiction, use of intracardiac catheters, or concomitant cardiac abnormalities. Herein, we report a case of infective endocarditis involving more than one valve in a 47-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot. Echocardiographic examination showed a vegetation involving the tricuspid valve and two vegetations involving the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery. Despite antibiotic therapy for six weeks, the vegetations did not significantly change in size. The patient refused surgical intervention.

Özet

İntravenöz ilaç bağımlılığı, intrakardiyak kateter kullanımı ya da eşlik eden kardiyak anomali olmaksızın sağ tarafı tutan infektif endokardit nadiren tanımlanmıştır. Bu yazıda, Fallot tetralojisi olan 47 yaşındaki bir erkek hastada birden fazla kapağı tutan infektif endokardit sunuldu. Ekokardiyografik incelemede triküspid kapakta bir, pulmoner arter bifurkasyonunda iki adet vejetasyon saptandı. Altı haftalık antibiyotik tedavisine rağmen vejetasyonlarda bir gerileme olmadı. Hasta önerilen cerrahi müdahaleyi kabul etmedi.
