  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Isolated tricuspid valve infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae is an uncommon disease. We describe herein a healthy adult who suffered from this disease. A previously healthy 49-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a six week history of remittent fever, although an oral cephalosporin had been administered. There was no previous cardiac history. He had never received any dental procedure. He denied drug abuse. Cultures of two blood samples yielded Streptococcus agalactiae. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a large vegetation (25mm × 17mm) attached to the posterior cusp of the tricuspid valve with moderate regurgitation. A diagnosis of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis was made and he was treated with antibiotics for more than three weeks. But the infection was difficult to control with antibiotics alone. Streptococcus agalactiae is very virulent and early operation is recommended if there is evidence of uncontrollable infection. Urgent tricuspid valvuloplasty was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and he is doing well at the time of follow-up.
