Title: Tricuspid valve group B streptococcal endocarditis after an elective termination of pregnancy. Author: Kangavari S, Collins J, Cercek B, Atar S, Siegel R. Journal: Clin Cardiol; 2000 Apr; 23(4):301-3. PubMed ID: 10763083. Abstract: A patient developed fever, chills, and shortness of breath after an elective first trimester dilation and curettage. Blood cultures grew Group B streptococcus, and a transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a 2 x 2 cm vegetation on the tricuspid valve and global left ventricular hypokinesis. A 6-week course of parenteral antibiotics and vasodilator therapy resulted in resolution of the valvular vegetation as well as of the left ventricular dysfunction.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
