  • Look Inside

A 64-year-old female patient was diagnosed as hav-ing mitral stenosis and regurgitation (MSR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) at age 63. There was no history of rheumatic fever. She was hospitalized in March, 1993 because of dyspnea and continuous fever in a condition of class III by the NYHA classification, with an increase in CRP, but we could not identify an obvi-ous bacterium in her blood culture. Echocardiography revealed the presence of MSR, AR, TR, PR and vegeta-tion on the mitral valves. She was considered to have active infective endocarditis (AIE). Penicillin G at a daily dose of 80 mg was intravenously administered to treat the infection. Furosemide was used for congestive heart failure. Since then, although her cardiac function and the signs of the infection appeared to improve during 11 days in the hospital, the signs of the infection reappeared within 19 days and echocardiography revealed new vegetation on the mitral valve. There-fore, triple valve replacement for the mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves and excision of the vegetation on thepulmonary valve were performed and the operation was successful. The operation revealed vegetation on the excised quadruple valves (mitral, aortic, tricuspid, pul-monary valves).

This case is rheumatic valvular disease associated with infective endocarditis which revealed the vegeta-tion on mitral, aortic, tricuspid, pulmonary valves. It is quite a rare case.
