Abstract
Highlights. A rare case of pulmonary valve infective endocarditis in a patient without medical and social risk factors is reported. The presented treatment strategy is of particular interest to general physicians, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons.
The incidence of isolated pulmonary valve infective endocarditis is extremely rare in the general population. Thus, clinical physicians do not have their own experience in the differential diagnosis of this pathology. There is a prejudice that Abstract infective endocarditis involving the right side of the heart is commonly associated with intravenous drug abuse. Healthcare professionals lack caution when making this diagnosis in patients. We report a rare clinical case of pulmonary valve infective endocarditis in a patient without medical and social risk factors.
